The Cu-induced ScsD reductase is a membrane-bound redox partner of ScsB in the Salmonella envelope

Andrea A. E. Méndez, Juan J. Reinero, Zhenzhen Zhao…·Susana K. Checa

This paper identifies ScsD as a membrane-bound redox partner of ScsB in Salmonella, showing it functions as a disulfide reductase involved in periplasmic proteostasis under copper stress.
