Initial Step of Selenite Reduction via Thioredoxin for Bacterial Selenoprotein Biosynthesis

Many organisms reductively assimilate selenite to synthesize selenoprotein. Although the thioredoxin system, consisting of thioredoxin 1 (TrxA) and thioredoxin reductase with NADPH, can reduce selenite and is considered to facilitate selenite assimilation, the detailed mechanism remains obscure. Her...
