ABSTRACT
Hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) is a key redox signaling molecule that selectively oxidizes cysteines on proteins. It can accomplish this even in the presence of highly efficient and abundant H2O2 scavengers, peroxiredoxins (Prdxs), as it is the Prdxs themselves that transfer oxidative equivalents to specific protein thiols on target proteins via their redox-relay functionality. The first evidence of a mammalian cytosolic Prdx-mediated redox-relay-Prdx1 with the kinase ASK1-was presented a decade ago based on the outcome of a co-immunoprecipitation experiment. A second such redox-relay-Prdx2STAT3-soon followed, for which further studies provided insights into its specificity, organization, and mechanism. The Prdx1ASK1 redox-relay, however, has never undergone such a characterization. Here, we combine cellular and in vitro protein-protein interaction methods to investigate the Prdx1ASK1 interaction more thoroughly. We show that, contrary to the Prdx2STAT3 redox-relay, Prdx1 interacts with ASK1 at elevated H2O2 concentrations, and that this interaction can happen independently of a scaffolding protein. We also provide evidence of a Prdx2ASK1 interaction, and demonstrate that it requires a facilitator that, however, is not annexin A2. Our results reveal that cytosolic Prdx redox-relays can be organized in different ways and yet again highlight the differentiated roles of Prdx1 and Prdx2.
