We have identified human and mouse peroxiredoxin V (Prx-V) by virtue of the sequence homologies to yeast peroxisomal antioxidant enzyme PMP20. Prx-V represents the fifth of the six currently known subfamilies of mammalian peroxiredoxins. It is a novel organellar enzyme that has orthologs in bacteria. Biochemically, Prx-V is a thioredoxin peroxidase. One important aspect of p53 function in mammalian cells involves induction of apoptosis likely mediated by redox. We show that overexpression of Prx-V prevented the p53-dependent generation of reactive oxygen species. Likewise, Prx-V inhibited p53-induced apoptosis. Thus, Prx-V is critically involved in intracellular redox signaling. (C) 2000 Academic Press.
