Abstract:
The 28 kDa secretory protein is one of the abundant water-soluble proteins in olfactory epithelium of mammals. Analysis of partial amino acid sequence of the 28 kDa protein strongly suggested that it belongs to a new family of highly conserved antioxidant proteins requiring thiol for their antioxidant activity (TSA/AhpC family). In the present study, we found the 28 kDa protein to have thiol-dependent antioxidant activity, thereby protecting radical-sensitive proteins such as glutamine synthetase and hemoglobin from oxidative modification caused by thiol-dependent metal ion-catalyzed oxidation system. The purified 28 kDa protein did not possess catalase or glutathione peroxidase activities, and required thiols to exhibit its antioxidant activity. The 28 kDa protein is the first member of the family of thiol-specific antioxidants identified in olfactory epithelium and the first secretory protein shown to be thiol-specific antioxidant.

Broadly, these modifications can be categorized into four main categories — glycosylation, formation of disulfide bonds, assembly of protein subunits, and specific proteolytic cleavages like removal of signal sequences.
