Identification of an antimicrobial peptide from human methionine sulfoxide reductase B3.
Human methionine sulfoxide reductase B3A (hMsrB3A) is an endoplasmic reticulum (ER) reductase that catalyzes the stereospecific reduction of methionine-R-sulfoxide to methionine in proteins. In this work, we identified an antimicrobial peptide from hMsrB3A protein. The N-terminal ER-targeting signal peptide (amino acids 1-31) conferred an antimicrobial effect in Escherichia coli cells. Sequence...
متن کاملNovel Mechanism for Scavenging of Hypochlorite Involving a Periplasmic Methionine-Rich Peptide and Methionine Sulfoxide Reductase
UNLABELLED Reactive chlorine species (RCS) defense mechanisms are important for bacterial fitness in diverse environments. In addition to the anthropogenic use of RCS in the form of bleach, these compounds are also produced naturally through photochemical reactions of natural organic matter and in vivo by the mammalian immune system in response to invading microorganisms. To gain insight into b...
متن کاملSelenium and the methionine sulfoxide reductase system.
Selenium is a chemical element participating in the synthesis of selenocysteine residues that play a pivotal role in the enzymatic activity efficiency of selenoproteines. The methionine sulfoxide reductase (Msr) system that reduces methionine sulfoxide (MetO) to methionine comprises the selenoprotein MsrB (MsrB1) and the non-selenoprotein MsrA, which reduce the R- and the S- forms of MetO, resp...
متن کاملMethionine sulfoxide reductase A is a stereospecific methionine oxidase.
Methionine sulfoxide reductase A (MsrA) catalyzes the reduction of methionine sulfoxide to methionine and is specific for the S epimer of methionine sulfoxide. The enzyme participates in defense against oxidative stresses by reducing methionine sulfoxide residues in proteins back to methionine. Because oxidation of methionine residues is reversible, this covalent modification could also functio...
متن کاملDifferential regulation of plastidial and cytosolic isoforms of peptide methionine sulfoxide reductase in Arabidopsis.
We report the characterization of two members of a gene family from Arabidopsis that encode, respectively, cytosolic (cPMSR) and plastid-targeted (pPMSR) isoforms of the oxidative-stress-repair enzyme peptide methionine sulfoxide reductase. Overexpression of these proteins in Escherichia coli confirmed that each had PMSR enzyme activity with a synthetic substrate, N-acetyl-[(3)H]-methionine sul...
