The function of most selenoproteins is currently unknown; however, thioredoxin reductases, glutathione peroxidases and thyroid hormone deiodinases are well characterised selenobroteins involved in redox regulation of intracellular signalling, redox homeostasis and thyroid hormones metabolism.

The fast spontaneous reaction between dihydrolipoamide and thioredoxin-S2 provides a mechanism for NADH or pyruvate-dependent disulfides reduction and the implication of the dithiol-disulfide oxidoreductase activity of thiOREDoxin for the regulation of enzyme activities by thiol oxidation-reduction control is discussed.

Glutaredoxins uniquely reduce mixed disulfides with glutathione via a monothiol mechanism where only an N-terminal low pKa Cys residue is required, by using their glutathionylation site.

Thioredoxin and binding proteins appear to control apoptosis or metabolic states such as carbohydrate and lipid metabolism related to diseases such as diabetes and atherosclerosis and the fundamental differences between bacterial and mammalian thiOREDoxin reductases offer new principles for treatment of infections.

It is found that the HDACi suberoylanilide hydroxamic acid (SAHA) and MS-275, a benzamide, cause an accumulation of reactive oxygen species (ROS) and caspase activation in transformed but not normal cells.

It is proposed that the iron-sulfur cluster serves as a redox sensor for the activation of Grx2 during conditions of oxidative stress when free radicals are formed and the glutathione pool becomes oxidized.
