Glutathione Disulfide 245-266 thioredoxin-2 Drosophila melanogaster 91-94 11877442-1 2002 As Drosophila melanogaster does not contain glutathione reductase, the thioredoxin system has a key function for glutathione disulfide reduction in insects (Kanzok, S. M., Fechner, A., Bauer, H., Ulschmid, J. K., Muller, H. M., Botella-Munoz, J., Schneuwly, S., Schirmer, R. H., and Becker, K. (2001) Science 291, 643-646). Glutathione Disulfide 113-134 thioredoxin-2 Drosophila melanogaster 71-82 11877442-5 2002 DmTrx-2 is capable of reducing glutathione disulfide with a second order rate constant of 170 m(-1) s(-1) at pH 7.4 and 25 degrees C. Western blot analysis indicated that this thioredoxin represents up to 1% of the extractable protein of D. melanogaster Schneider cells or whole fruit flies. Glutathione Disulfide 31-52 thioredoxin-2 Drosophila melanogaster 0-7 11877442-5 2002 DmTrx-2 is capable of reducing glutathione disulfide with a second order rate constant of 170 m(-1) s(-1) at pH 7.4 and 25 degrees C. Western blot analysis indicated that this thioredoxin represents up to 1% of the extractable protein of D. melanogaster Schneider cells or whole fruit flies.
