PRDX5 (originally named AOEB166) was identified as a novel mammalian peroxiredoxin with peroxidase activity. Recombinant AOEB166 expressed in E. coli exhibits peroxidase activity and antioxidant activity comparable to catalase. The protein contains both mitochondrial and peroxisomal targeting sequences, and GFP-fusion protein expressed in HepG2 cells is sorted to both organelles. |

Human PMP20 (PRDX5 ortholog) localizes to peroxisomes via a C-terminal PTS1 signal (SQL tripeptide) that binds the peroxisomal targeting signal receptor HsPEX5; mutagenesis of the SQL sequence abolishes binding to HsPEX5. HsPMP20 exhibits thiol-specific antioxidant activity (inhibiting glutamine synthetase inactivation in thiol-dependent oxidation system) and thiol-peroxidase activity removing H2O2. |

PrxV (PRDX5) forms an intramolecular disulfide as a reaction intermediate during peroxide reduction, distinguishing it from other peroxiredoxins that form intermolecular disulfides or sulfenic acid intermediates. Cys48 is the peroxidatic site oxidized by peroxides, and oxidized Cys48 reacts with Cys152 to form an intramolecular disulfide. The disulfide is reduced by thioredoxin but not by glutaredoxin or glutathione. PRDX5 is localized to cytosol, mitochondria, and peroxisomes. Overexpression of wild-type but not Cys48 mutant inhibited H2O2 accumulation and c-Jun N-terminal kinase activation induced by TNF-alpha in NIH 3T3 cells. |

The 1.5 Å crystal structure of human PRDX5 in reduced form reveals a thioredoxin-like domain. Unlike other mammalian peroxiredoxins, PRDX5 does not form a homodimer. In the reduced form, the catalytic Cys47 and Cys151 are 13.8 Å apart, indicating a conformational change is required to form the intramolecular disulfide upon oxidation. A benzoate ion was found near the active-site pocket. |

PRDX5 is classified as the atypical 2-Cys peroxiredoxin: it uses an active-site cysteine (peroxidatic Cys) oxidized to sulfenic acid by peroxide substrate, then forms an intramolecular disulfide with the resolving Cys, recycled by thioredoxin. This mechanism is distinct from typical 2-Cys Prxs (intermolecular disulfide) and 1-Cys Prxs. |

Human PRDX5 is a peroxynitrite reductase. The nucleophilic attack on the O-O bond of peroxynitrite is performed by the N-terminal peroxidatic Cys47. Using pulse radiolysis, the rate constant for peroxynitrite reduction was measured at (7±3)×10^7 M⁻¹s⁻¹, among the highest reported for any peroxynitrite reductase. |

PRDX5 is the unique atypical 2-Cys peroxiredoxin in mammals, localized to mitochondria, peroxisomes, cytosol, and nucleus. It reduces alkyl hydroperoxides and peroxynitrite using cytosolic or mitochondrial thioredoxins with rate constants of 10^6–10^7 M⁻¹s⁻¹, while reduction of H2O2 is more modest (~10^5 M⁻¹s⁻¹). Overexpression in different subcellular compartments protects cells from nitro-oxidative stress, while gene silencing increases vulnerability. |

ROS-induced hypomethylation of the PRDX5 promoter enhances STAT3 binding at two specific sites (−444 to −434 bp and −1417 to −1407 bp), increasing PRDX5 expression. STAT3 knockdown decreased PRDX5 protein levels while STAT3 overexpression increased them. PRDX5 overexpression activated the Nrf2 signaling pathway and promoted EMT (decreased E-cadherin, increased vimentin) in NSCLC cells under oxidative stress. |

PRDX5 regulates the DNA damage response (DDR) through multiple mechanisms: (1) Plk1-mediated phosphorylation of ATM kinase triggering downstream Chek1/Chek2; (2) regulation of p53 acetylation at lysine 382 via Sirt2, which was identified as a novel deacetylase of p53 at K382 in a Prdx5-dependent manner; (3) induction of autophagy that recycles DDR molecules. Prdx5 knockdown induced γ-H2AX and 53BP1 (DNA damage markers), while exogenous Prdx5 decreased DNA damage and ATM activation in Pkd1 mutant renal epithelial cells. |

During cryopreservation-induced oxidative stress in bull sperm, PRDX5 translocates intracellularly and forms high molecular weight oligomers that may shift from peroxidase to chaperone roles. PRDX5 interaction with TLR4 may be key to its intracellular transport. PRDX5 is also found in exosomal vesicles, suggesting a potential transport mechanism. |

PRDX5 regulates mitochondrial function and myonuclear positioning during myogenesis. Prdx5-/- myotubes exhibit impaired nuclear spreading (clustered nuclei) and reduced mitochondrial ATP production. PRDX5 facilitates mitochondrial transport and nuclear positioning at least in part through transcriptional regulation of Rhot1 and Trak1 (key mitochondrial transport regulators). Double knockout of Prdx3 and Prdx5 accelerates muscle aging with increased mitochondrial H2O2 production, upregulating E3 ligases Atrogin1 and MuRF1. |
