The eukaryotic, typical 2-Cys peroxiredoxins (Prxs) are inactivated by hyperoxidation of one of their active-site cysteine residues to cysteine sulfinic acid. This covalent modification is thought to enable hydrogen peroxide-mediated cell signaling and to act as a functional switch between a peroxidase and a high-molecular-weight chaperone. Moreover, hyperoxidation has been implicated in a variety of disease states associated with oxidative stress, including cancer and aging-associated pathologies. A repair enzyme, sulfiredoxin (Srx), reduces the sulfinic acid moiety by using an unusual ATP-dependent mechanism. In this process, the Prx molecule undergoes dramatic structural rearrangements to facilitate repair. Structural, kinetic, mutational, and mass spectrometry-based approaches have been used to dissect the molecular basis for Srx catalysis. The available data support the direct formation of Cys sulfinic acid phosphoryl ester and protein-based thiosulfinate intermediates. This review discusses the role of Srx in the reversal of Prx hyperoxidation, the questions raised concerning the reductant required for human Srx regeneration, and the deglutathionylating activity of Srx. The complex interplay between Prx hyperoxidation, other forms of Prx covalent modification, and the oligomeric state also are discussed.
