Abstract excerpt
Escherichia coli thioredoxin is a small disulfide-containing redox protein with the active site sequence Cys-Gly-Pro-Cys-Lys. Mutations were made in this region of the thioredoxin gene and the mutant proteins expressed in E. coli strains lacking thioredoxin. Mutant proteins with a 17-membered or 11-membered disulfide ring were inactive in vivo. However, purified thioredoxin with the active site sequence...
