Methionine sulfoxide reductases are essential for virulence of Salmonella typhimurium.

Methionine sulfoxide reductases are essential for virulence of Salmonella typhimurium.

Production of reactive oxygen species represents a fundamental innate defense against microbes in a diversity of host organisms. Oxidative stress, amongst others, converts peptidyl and free methionine to a mixture of methionine-S- (Met-S-SO) and methionine-R-sulfoxides (Met-R-SO). To cope with such...
