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.
