Abstract excerpt
Two peroxiredoxins, classified as Type II and PrxQ, were characterized in the purple non-sulfur photosynthetic bacterium Rhodobacter sphaeroides. Both recombinant proteins showed remarkable thioredoxin-dependent peroxidase activity with broad substrate specificity in vitro. Nevertheless, PrxQ of R. sphaeroides, unlike typical PrxQs studied to date, does not contain one of the two conserved catalytic Cys residues....
