Atomic structure and enzymatic insights into the vancomycin-resistant Enterococcus faecalis (V583) alkylhydroperoxide reductase subunit C.

The Enterococcus faecalis alkyl hydroperoxide reductase complex (AhpR) with its subunits AhpC (EfAhpC) and AhpF (EfAhpF) are of paramount importance to restore redox homeostasis. Recently, the novel phenomenon of swapping of the catalytic domains of EfAhpF was uncovered. Here, we visualized its counterpart EfAhpC (187 residues) from the vancomycin-resistant E.
