Christophe BELIN, Maître de Conférences, CoDirecteur Université de Perpignan Via Domitia de these This thesis is dedicated to my lovely wife Dulce, whose wisdom and kindness give me the energy of a thousand suns... Acknowledgements I would like to say thank you to my parents Jose and Luz Maria that even if they were not physically present during my Ph.D., their moral support was critical to reaching my goals. Studying a Ph.D. is a difficult task because it requires discipline, intelligence, and talent, but is easier when you have good professors to show you the way. For this reason, I want to say thanks to Jean-Philippe and Christophe Belin for not giving up on me and show me instead of how to do science. To all the people that I had the opportunity to meet in Perpignan, especially Myriam, Sandrine, Ben, Beren, Anaid, Meli, Aleix, Caro, el Grec, Victor, Alejandra, Jean-Baptiste, Annia, Hadjer, Saionara, Zac, and Rafa, for taking the time to know me better, and share with me so many moments. Eventhough some of them were not as happy ones as we could wish, it made stronger our friendship... I wish you all the best. To all my current and former colleagues from the LGDP which are very nice people and excellent scientists, I wish you success in their professional and personal projects to come. I would also like to say an especially thank you to my friends Salvatore, Alheli, Charlotte, Hernandez, Celso, Panpan, Ariadna, Moaine, and Olka that made my daily work more pleasant with their occurrences and good talks. I want to say also thank you to the all people of the University of Perpignan for allowing me to perform my studies in this institution, in which the people from the LGDP have an especially mention, particularly Claire, Veronique, and Laëtitia. Without their assistance, experience and knowledge, I could not have made the same advances in my work. I would like to say thanks as well to the members of the Ph.D. committee, Lucia STRADER, Cécile BOUSQUET-ANTONELLI, and Laurent LAPLAZE, who were actively involved in my formation through interesting discussion and advice during these three years of my Ph.D. I would like to say a special thanks to Lucia Strader and Jerry Cohen for hosting me in their laboratories in the United States for almost three weeks, they are incredible as people as well as scientists. Moreover, I want to say thanks for having been key elements of my formation. Finally I want to thank the Mexican government and CONACYT who gave me all the economic support that I needed to obtain a doctoral degree.

However, physiological and biochemical roles of Mycoredoxin 3 (Mrx3) that shared a 30 high amino acid sequence similarity to Grxs remain unknown in Corynebacterium glutamicum. 31 Here we showed that mrx3 deletion strains of C. glutamicum was involved in the protection 32 against oxidative stress. Recombinant Mrx3 not only catalytically reduced the disulfide bonds in 33 ribonucleotide reductase (RNR), insulin and 5, 5’-dithiobis-(2-nitro-benzoicacid) (DTNB), but 34 also reduced the mixed disulphides between mycothiol (MSH) and substrate, which was 35 exclusively linked to the thioredoxin reductase (TrxR) electron transfer pathway by a dithiol 36 mechanism. Site-directed mutagenesis confirmed that the conserved Cys17 and Cys20 in Mrx3 37 were necessary to maintain its activity.

Over the past decade, however, the essential contributions of glutathione to cellular iron metabolism have come more and more into focus. GSH is indispensable in mitochondrial iron-sulfur (FeS) cluster biosynthesis, primarily by co-ligating FeS clusters as a cofactor of the CGFS-type (class II) glutaredoxins (Grxs). GSH is required for the export of the yet to be defined FeS precursor from the mitochondria to the cytosol. In the cytosol, it is an essential cofactor, again of the multi-domain CGFS-type Grxs, master players in cellular iron and FeS trafficking. In this review, we summarize the recent advances and progress in this field. The most urgent open questions are discussed, such as the role of GSH in the export of FeS precursors from mitochondria, the physiological roles of the CGFS-type Grx interactions with BolA-like proteins and the cluster transfer between Grxs and recipient proteins.
