Tpx1 is the only enzyme with sufficient sensitivity for peroxides and cellular abundance as to control the low levels produced during aerobic growth, catalase being the next barrier of detoxification.
Title: A genetic approach to study H2O2 scavenging in fission yeast--distinct roles of peroxiredoxin and catalase.

our data establish that redox-coupling between Trx1 and the thioredoxin peroxidase activity of Tpx1 is central for initiation of appropriate responses to different levels of hydrogen peroxide in S. pombe
Title: Inactivation of a peroxiredoxin by hydrogen peroxide is critical for thioredoxin-mediated repair of oxidized proteins and cell survival.

Thioredoxin Peroxidase inhibited thermal aggregation of citrate synthase, but BCP failed to inhibit the aggregation.
Title: Distinct functional roles of peroxiredoxin isozymes and glutathione peroxidase from fission yeast, Schizosaccharomyces pombe.

Prx protein is partly responsible for maintaining low ROS level under normal and stressful growth conditions in the fission yeast
Title: Molecular cloning, characterization and regulation of a peroxiredoxin gene from Schizosaccharomyces pombe.

the carboxy-terminal extension of Tpx1 concomitantly improves H2O2 scavenging and increases susceptibility to inactivation
Title: C-terminal truncation of the peroxiredoxin Tpx1 decreases its sensitivity for hydrogen peroxide without compromising its role in signal transduction.
