EC 1.8.4.16

Accepted name: thioredoxin:protein disulfide reductase

Reaction: a [protein] with reduced L-cysteine residues + thioredoxin disulfide = a [protein] carrying a disulfide bond + thioredoxin (overall reaction)
(1a) a [thioredoxin:protein disulfide reductase] with reduced L-cysteine residues + thioredoxin disulfide = a [thioredoxin:protein disulfide reductase] carrying a disulfide bond + thioredoxin
(1b) a [thioredoxin:protein disulfide reductase] carrying a disulfide bond + a [protein] with reduced L-cysteine residues = a [thioredoxin:protein disulfide reductase] with reduced L-cysteine residues + a [protein] carrying a disulfide bond

Other name(s): dsbD (gene name); dipZ (gene name)

Systematic name: thioredoxin:protein disulfide oxidoreductase (dithiol-forming)

Comments: The DsbD protein is found in Gram-negative bacteria and transfers electrons from cytoplasmic thioredoxin to the periplasmic substrate proteins DsbC, DsbG and CcmG, reducing disulfide bonds in the target proteins to dithiols. NrdH redoxins, which are found in Gram-positive bacteria, catalyse a similar reaction.
