Glutathione is a target in tellurite toxicity and is protected by tellurite resistance determinants in Escherichia coli.

Canadian journal of microbiology - 1 Jan 2001

Turner R J, Aharonowitz Y, Weiner J H, Taylor D E

Abstract excerpt

Tellurite (TeO3(2-)) is highly toxic to most microorganisms. The mechanisms of toxicity or resistance are poorly understood. It has been shown that tellurite rapidly depletes the reduced thiol content within wild-type Escherichia coli. We have shown that the presence of plasmid-borne tellurite-resistance determinants protects against general thiol oxidation by tellurite. In the present study we observe that the...
