Abstract excerpt
Carbonic anhydrase 3 is easily S-glutathionylated in vivo and in vitro. The protein has two surface-exposed cysteine residues that can be modified. We found that Cys186 is more readily glutathionylated than Cys181. We studied a series of site-specific mutants to identify the residues that interact with Cys186 to make its thiol more reactive. We found that Lys211 is responsible for lowering the pKa of Cys186. We...
