NADPH reduces FAD present in GSR to produces a transient FADH- anion. This anion then quickly breaks a disulfide bond Cys58 - Cys63 and leads to Cys63 nucleophilically attacking the nearest sulfide unit in the GSSG molecule promoted by His467 which creates a mixed disulfide bond GS-Cys58 and a GS- anion. His467 of GSR then protonates the GS- anion to form the first GSH. Next, Cys63 nucleophilically attacks the sulfide of Cys58 releasing a GS- anion which in turn picks up a solvent proton and is released from the enzyme, thereby creating the second GSH. So, for every GSSG and NADPH you gain two reduced GSH molecules that can again act as antioxidants scavanging reactive oxygen species in the cell. In cells exposed to high levels of oxidative stress, like red blood cells, up to 10% of the glucose consumption may be directed to the pentose phosphate pathway PPP for production of the NADPH needed for this reaction. In the case of erythrocytes, if the PPP in non-functional then the oxidative stress in the cell will lead to cell lysis and anemia. 4 References ^ Entrez Gene: GSR glutathione reductase. ^ Meister A 1988.
