   Abstract : Escherichia coli employs two separate pathways, driven by NADPH to reduce protein disulfides: the thioredoxin and glutaredoxin systems. Both systems function via redox active disulfides and are involved in many cellular functions including, the synthesis of DNA building blocks (by reducing the essential enzyme ribonucleotide reductase), the generation of reduced sulfur (via PAPS reductase), and the repair of oxidative damage to protein (by methionine sulfoxide reductase).
