Regulation of Gene Expression of Methionine Sulfoxide Reductases and Their New Putative Roles in Plants.

ABSTRACT: Oxidation of methionine to methionine sulfoxide is a type of posttranslational modification reversed by methionine sulfoxide reductases (Msrs), which present an exceptionally high number of gene copies in plants. The side-form general antioxidant function-specific role of each Msr isoform has not been fully studied. Thirty homologous genes of Msr type A (MsrA) and type B (MsrB) that originate from the genomes of Arabidopsis thaliana, Populus trichocarpa, and Oryza sativa were analyzed in silico. From 109 to 201 transcription factors and responsive elements were predicted for each gene. Among the species, 220 and 190 common transcription factors and responsive elements were detected for the MsrA and MsrB isoforms, respectively. In a comparison of 14 MsrA and 16 MsrB genes, 424 transcription
