AhpC of the mycobacterial antioxidant defense system and its interaction with its reducing partner Thioredoxin-C
Abstract Despite the highly oxidative environment of the phagosomal lumen, the need for maintaining redox homeostasis is a critical aspect of mycobacterial biology. The pathogens are equipped with the sophisticated thioredoxin- (Trx) and peroxiredoxin system, including TrxC and the alkyl hydroperoxi...
