Description
AI-generatedUnreviewed
The MsrA Met sulfoxide reductase family consists of enzymes that play a crucial role in cellular defense against oxidative stress. Members of this family are responsible for the repair of oxidized proteins by catalyzing the reduction of methionine sulfoxide to methionine, thereby restoring the function of these proteins. This reversible oxidation-reduction process is essential for maintaining protein function and preventing cellular damage caused by reactive oxygen species. The family is characterized by its ability to specifically reduce the S-enantiomer of methionine sulfoxide, highlighting its specialized role in protein repair mechanisms.
