Abstract excerpt
The ArsC protein encoded by the arsenical resistance operon of plasmid R773 catalyzes the reduction of arsenate to arsenite in Escherichia coli. The reductase has been shown to require glutathione and glutaredoxin, suggesting that thiol chemistry might be involved in the reaction mechanism. The ArsC arsenate reductase has two cysteinyl residues, Cys12 and Cys106. By a combination of random and site-specific...
