Abstract: | Previous reports described thioredoxin (Trx) as a very poor reductant for mammalian MsrB2 and MsrB3, which lack a resolving Cys residue. In contrast, we here report that Trx could reduce both MsrB2 and MsrB3 enzymes, similarly to the reduction of mammalian MsrA. We demonstrated that functional Trx is required for the reduction of these enzymes. We further identified MsrB2- or MsrB3-Trx complexes formed through intermolecular disulfide bonds involving catalytic residue of Trx. The present study provides evidence that the sulfenic acid intermediate of oxidized MsrBs lacking resolving Cys could interact with Trx and be directly reduced by this protein. |
