Deskripsi

Many 2-Cystein Peroxiredoxins (Prx) can either function as peroxidases or chaperones when exposed to stress. Here the authors present the structures of Leishmania infantum mitochondrial Prx alone and with a bound model client protein, use crosslinking to reveal interaction regions that stabilize the bound client, and provide insights into the mechanism by which Prx’s adopt chaperone activity.
