Two distinct stereospecific methionine sulfoxide reductases (Msr), MsrA and MsrB reduce the oxidized methionine (Met), methionine sulfoxide [Met(O)], back to Met. In this report, we examined the reducing systems required for the activities of two chloroplastic MsrB enzymes (NtMsrB1 and NtMsrB2) from
Reactive oxygen species (ROS) are generated during normal aerobic metabolism and in plants exposed to environmental stress. Methionine (Met) residues are particularly sensitive to ROS-mediated oxidation, leading to the formation of methionine sulfoxide (MetSO) under mild oxidative conditions.
Methionine (Met) residues in proteins/peptides are extremely susceptible to oxidation mediated by reactive oxygen species, resulting in the formation of methionine sulfoxide, which could be inversely reduced back to Met by methionine sulfoxide reductase (MSR). In the present study, an A-type MSR
