Abstract excerpt
Thioredoxin (Trx) is a small ubiquitous protein involved in the disulfide-dithiol exchange reaction occurring in cells and organelles. In vivo, Trx is reduced by Trx reductase using NADPH or photosynthetically produced reducing equivalents, and the reduced form Trx takes on the physiological functions. In the cyanobacterium Synechocystis sp. PCC6803, two Trx reductases, ferredoxin-Trx reductase (FTR) and...
