Initial Step of Selenite Reduction via Thioredoxin for Bacterial Selenoprotein Biosynthesis
2021
Overview
Many organisms reductively assimilate selenite to synthesize selenoprotein. Although the thioredoxin system, consisting of thioredoxin 1 (TrxA) and thioredoxin reductase with NADPH, can reduce selenite and is considered to facilitate selenite assimilation, the detailed mechanism remains obscure. Here, we show that selenite was reduced by the thioredoxin system from Pseudomonas stutzeri only in the presence of the TrxA (PsTrxA), and this system was specific to selenite among the oxyanions examined. Mutational analysis revealed that Cys33 and Cys36 residues in PsTrxA are important for selenite reduction. Free thiol-labeling assays suggested that Cys33 is more reactive than Cys36. Mass spectrometry analysis suggested that PsTrxA reduces selenite via PsTrxA-SeO intermediate formation. Furthermore, an in vivo formate dehydrogenase activity assay in Escherichia coli with a gene disruption suggested that TrxA is important for selenoprotein biosynthesis. The introduction of PsTrxA complemented the effects of TrxA disruption in E. coli cells, only when PsTrxA contained Cys33 and Cys36. Based on these results, we proposed the early steps of the link between selenite and selenoprotein biosynthesis via the formation of TrxA–selenium complexes.
