Thioredoxins are highly conserved throughout a wide range of organisms, and they are essential for the isurvival of oxygen-sensitive cells. The gastric pathogenHelicobacter pylori uses the thioredoxin system to maintain its thiol/disulfide balance. There are two thioredoxins present inH. pylori , Trx1 and Trx2 (herein referred to as TrxA and TrxC). TrxA has been shown to be important as an electron donor for some antioxidant enzymes, but the function of TrxC remains unknown (L. M. Baker, A. Raudonikiene, P. S. Hoffman, and L. B. Poole, J Bacteriol 183:1961–1973, 2001; P. Alamuri and R. J. Maier, J Bacteriol 188:5839–5850, 2006). We demonstrate that both TrxA and TrxC are important in protectingH. pylori from oxidative stress. Individual ΔtrxA and ΔtrxC deletion mutant strains each show a greater abundance of lipid peroxides and suffer more DNA damage and more protein carbonylation than the parent. Both deletion mutants were much more sensitive to O2 -mediated viability loss than the parent. Unexpectedly, the oxidative DNA damage and protein carbonylation was more severe in the ΔtrxC mutant than in the ΔtrxA mutant; it had 20-fold- and 4-fold-more carbonylated protein content than the wild type and the ΔtrxA strain, respectively, after 4 h of atmospheric O2 stress.trx transcript abundance was altered by the deletion of the heterologoustrx gene. The ΔtrxC mutant lacked mouse colonization ability, while the ability to colonize mouse stomachs was significantly reduced in the ΔtrxA mutant.
