glutathione amide-dependent peroxidase

This enzyme, which has been characterized from the proteobacterium Marichromatium gracile, is a chimeric protein, containing a peroxiredoxin-like N-terminus and a glutaredoxin-like C terminus. The enzyme has peroxidase activity towards hydrogen peroxide and several small alkyl hydroperoxides, and is thought to represent an early adaptation for fighting oxidative stress. The glutathione amide disulfide produced by this enzyme can be restored to glutathione amide by EC 1.8.1.16 (glutathione amide reductase).
