The Chaperone and Redox Properties of CnoX Chaperedoxins Are Tailored to the Proteostatic Needs of Bacterial Species

ABSTRACT Hypochlorous acid (bleach), an oxidizing compound produced by neutrophils, turns the Escherichia coli chaperedoxin CnoX into a powerful holdase protecting its substrates from bleach-induced aggregation. CnoX is well conserved in bacteria, even in non-infectious species unlikely to encounter...
