Glutaredoxins (GRXs) are small glutathione (GSH) dependent oxidoreductases that catalyze reversible reduction of disulfide bonds of their substrate proteins by using the reducing power of GSH and function in scavenging cellular ROS and regulating redox homeostasis within these organelles. GRXs in plant are involved in various stress responses including Type II peroxiredoxins reduction, dehydroascorbate reduction, peroxidase activity, methylviologen response, methionine sulfoxide reductase regeneration and interaction with thioredoxins. Expression analysis of the glutaredoxin suggests their role in regulating plant the plant responses to fungal infection and abiotic stress conditions, including arsenic, high temperature, drought, salt, hydrogen peroxide and oxidative stress.
STEMart provides comprehensive analysis services to identify and investigate the function of GRX in regulating plant environmental stress responses.
