Peptide methionine sulfoxide reductase (PMSR) is a ubiquitous enzyme that repairs oxidatively damaged proteins. In Arabidopsis (Arabidopsis thaliana), a null mutation in PMSR2 (pmsr2-1), encoding a cytosolic isoform of the enzyme, exhibited reduced growth in short-day conditions. In wild-type
Methionine oxidation leads to the formation of S- and R-diastereomers of methionine sulfoxide (MetSO), which are reduced back to methionine by methionine sulfoxide reductases (MSRs) A and B, respectively. MSRBs are classified in two groups depending on the conservation of one or two redox-active
Methionine oxidation to methionine sulfoxide (MetSo), which results in modification of activity and conformation for many proteins, is reversed by an enzyme present in most organisms and termed as methionine sulfoxide reductase (MSR). On the basis of substrate stereospecificity, two types of MSR, A
Oxidation of methionine to methionine sulfoxide is a type of posttranslational modification reversed by methionine sulfoxide reductases (Msrs), which present an exceptionally high number of gene copies in plants. The side-form general antioxidant function-specific role of each Msr isoform has not

Reactive oxygen species (ROS) oxidize methionine to methionine sulfoxide (MetSO) and thereby inactivate proteins. Methionine sulfoxide reductase (MSR) enzyme converts MetSO back to the reduced form and thereby detoxifies the effect of ROS. Our results show that Arabidopsis thaliana MSR
Here, a functional characterization of a wheat MSR has been presented: this protein makes a contribution to the plant's tolerance of abiotic stress, acting through its catalytic capacity and its modulation of ROS and ABA pathways. The molecular mechanism and function of certain members of the
Methionine oxidation to methionine sulfoxide (MetSO) is reversed by two types of methionine sulfoxide reductases (MSRs), A and B, specific to MetSO S- and R-diastereomers, respectively. Two MSRB isoforms, MSRB1 and MSRB2, are present in chloroplasts of Arabidopsis thaliana. To assess their
Reactive oxygen species fulfill key roles in development and signaling, but lead at high concentration to damage in macromolecules. In proteins, methionine (Met) is particularly prone to oxidative modification and can be oxidized into Met sulfoxide (MetO). MetO reduction is catalyzed by specialized
The oxidation of methionine residues in proteins to methionine sulfoxides occurs frequently and protein repair by reduction of the methionine sulfoxides is mediated by an enzyme, peptide methionine sulfoxide reductase (PMSR, EC 1.8.4.6), universally present in the genomes of all so far sequenced
In the present study we evaluated the pre-treatment (priming) of Arabidopsis thaliana plants with sodium nitroprusside (SNP), a NO-donor, as an interesting approach for improving plant tolerance to cadmium stress. We focused on the cell redox balance and on the methionine sulfoxide reductases (MSR)
Seeds are in a natural oxidative context leading to protein oxidation. Although inevitable for proper progression from maturation to germination, protein oxidation at high levels is detrimental and associated with seed aging. Oxidation of methionine to methionine sulfoxide is a common form of damage
Methionine (Met) in proteins can be oxidized to two diastereoisomers of methionine sulfoxide, Met-S-O and Met-R-O, which are reduced back to Met by two types of methionine sulfoxide reductases (MSRs), A and B, respectively. MSRs are generally supplied with reducing power by thioredoxins. Plants are
Two types of methionine (Met) sulfoxide reductases (Msr) catalyze the reduction of Met sulfoxide (MetSO) back to Met. MsrA, well characterized in plants, exhibits an activity restricted to the Met-S-SO-enantiomer. Recently, a new type of Msr enzyme, called MsrB, has been identified in various
Methionine residues of proteins are a major target for oxidation by reactive oxygen species (ROS), which are generated in response to a variety of stress conditions. Methionine sulfoxide (MetO) reductases are present in most organisms and play protective roles in the cellular response to oxidative
We report the characterization of two members of a gene family from Arabidopsis that encode, respectively, cytosolic (cPMSR) and plastid-targeted (pPMSR) isoforms of the oxidative-stress-repair enzyme peptide methionine sulfoxide reductase. Overexpression of these proteins in Escherichia coli
