A Novel Thioredoxin-Dependent Peroxiredoxin (TPx-Q) Plays an Important Role in Defense Against Oxidative Stress and Is a Possible Drug Target in Babesia microti.

A Novel Thioredoxin-Dependent Peroxiredoxin (TPx-Q) Plays an Important Role in Defense Against Oxidative Stress and Is a Possible Drug Target in Babesia microti.

Thioredoxin peroxidases (TPxs) are ubiquitous cysteine-based peroxidases that scale back peroxides as a part of antioxidant defenses and redox signaling and are important for Babesia microti safety in opposition to opposed atmosphere brokers like reactive oxygen species (ROS) and reactive nitrogen species (RNS). To raised systematically perceive TPxs, we recognized a novel 2-Cys peroxiredoxin-Q (BmTPx-Q) of B. microti. […]
