Abstract excerpt
We have previously identified two distinct NADH oxidases corresponding to H(2)O(2)-forming oxidase (Nox-1) and H(2)O-forming oxidase (Nox-2) induced in Streptococcus mutans. Sequence analyses indicated a strong similarity between Nox-1 and AhpF, the flavoprotein component of Salmonella typhimurium alkyl hydroperoxide reductase; an open reading frame upstream of nox-1 also showed homology to AhpC, the direct...
