The Bacillus subtilis monothiol bacilliredoxin BrxC (YtxJ) and the Bdr (YpdA) disulfide reductase reduce S-bacillithiolated proteins
The bacterial cytosol is generally a reducing environment with protein cysteine residues maintained in their thiol form. The low molecular weight thiol bacillithiol (BSH) serves as a general thiol reductant, analogous to glutathione, in a wide range of bacterial species. Proteins modified by disulfi...
