Abstract in another language
Deiodinases catalyze the specific removal of iodine atoms from one of the two iodinated phenyl rings in iodothyronines. They thereby fine-regulate local thyroid hormone concentrations in organs or cells. The chemical reaction is unique in the sense that in metazoans the reductive elimination of iodide depends on the rare amino acid selenocysteine in the enzymes' active centers. While there is no prokaryotic homologue of such deiodinases, the solution of the crystal structure of a catalytic domain of mouse deiodinase 3 has revealed that the ancient peroxiredoxin structure has been repurposed, and improved using selenocysteine, as a deiodinase during metazoan evolution. Likewise, many biochemical findings obtained over decades can now be interpreted in light of the molecular structure. Despite this leap in our understanding of deiodinase structure, there are still several open questions that need to be addressed in order to fully understand substrate binding, catalytic mechanism, and regulation of deiodinases. We surmise that these issues as well as differences between the three highly homologous isoenzymes must be understood in order to develop modulators of deiodinases that could be valuable in clinical use.
