Abstract excerpt
The role of the invariant Trp residue at the redox site of thioredoxins was investigated by site-directed mutagenesis of a Chlamydomonas reinhardtii thioredoxin h. Though being still redox active with NADPH-thioredoxin reductase and chemical substrates [dithiothreitol and 5,5'-dithio-bis(2-nitrobenzoic acid)] the Trp35-->Ala-mutated protein completely lost the capacity to activate the thiol-regulated...
