The homodimeric family of iodothyronine deiodinases (Dios) regioselectively remove iodine from thyroid hormones. Currently, structural data has only been reported for the monomer of the  mus  type III thioredoxin (Trx) fold catalytic domain (Dio3 Trx ), but the mode of dimerization has not yet been determined. Various groups have proposed dimer structures that are similar to the A-type and B-type dimerization modes of peroxiredoxins. Computational methods are used to compare the sequence of Dio3 Trx  to related proteins known to form A-type and B-type dimers. Sequence analysis and  in silico  protein-protein docking methods suggest that Dio3 Trx  is more consistent with proteins that adopt B-type dimerization. Molecular dynamics (MD) simulations of the refined Dio3 Trx  dimer constructed using the SymmDock and GalaxyRefineComplex databases indicate stable dimer formation along the β 4 α 3  interface consistent with other Trx fold B-type dimers. Free energy calculations show that the dimer is stabilized by interdimer interactions between the β-sheets and α-helices. A comparison of MD simulations of the  apo  and thyroxine-bound dimers suggests that the active site binding pocket is not affected by dimerization. Determination of the transition state for deiodination of thyroxine from the monomer structure using QM/MM methods provides an activation barrier consistent with previous small model DFT studies.
