Metabolite Identification
Common NameL-Methionine (R)-S-oxide
DescriptionL-Methionine (R)-S-oxide or Met-(R)-O is an oxidized form of methionine. It can be used as a substrate for growth by E. coli. It is known that Escherichia coli methionine mutants can grow on both enantiomers of methionine sulfoxide (met(o)), i.e., Met-R-(O) or Met-S-(O), indicating the presence of enzymes in E. coli that can reduce each of these enantiomers to methionine (met). Recently it was discovered that an enzyme known as fRMsr or L-methionine (R)-S-oxide reductase (EC 1.8.4.14) is the enzyme that catalyzes the chemical reaction L-methionine + thioredoxin disulfide + H2O <=> L-methionine (R)-S-oxide + thioredoxin. It is thought that Met-(R)-O may represent a signaling molecule in response to oxidative stress. [PMID:17535911 ]
