Oxidative stress inactivates cobalamin-independent methionine synthase (MetE) in Escherichia coli.
In nature, Escherichia coli are exposed to harsh and non-ideal growth environments-nutrients may be limiting, and cells are often challenged by oxidative stress. For E. coli cells confronting these realities, there appears to be a link between oxidative stress, methionine availability, and the enzym...
