Abstract excerpt
The thioredoxin system, consisting of thioredoxin, thioredoxin reductase and NADPH, has been well established to be critical for the redox regulation of protein function and signalling. To investigate the role of thioredoxin reductase (Trr) in Dictyostelium discoideum, we generated mutant cells that underexpress or overexpress Trr. Trr-underexpressing cells exhibited severe defects in axenic growth and...
