Kinetic parameters of methionine sulfoxide reductase activity of MsrA2 or MsrB2
| Enzyme–substrate | Vmax | Km | Efficiency (Vmax/Km) |
|---|---|---|---|
| nmol/mg min | µmol/L | AU | |
| MsrA2 + Etrx1 | 59.0 | 26.5 | 2.22 |
| MsrA2 + Etrx2 | 8.2 | 13.3 | 0.61 |
| MsrB2 + Etrx1 | (No activity) | (No activity) | (No activity) |
| MsrB2 + Etrx2 | 17.1 | 21.0 | 0.81 |
The methionine sulfoxide reductase activity was measured in the presence of Etrx1 and Etrx2 protein, respectively. The reaction was performed at pH 7.4 in a mixture containing the Etrx protein, NADPH, human thioredoxin reductase and the reaction was started by the addition of MsrAB2 subunits.
AU, arbitrary units.
