Glutathione disulfide and S‐nitrosoglutathione detoxification by <i>Mycobacterium</i><i>tuberculosis</i> thioredoxin system
Bibliographic record
Abstract
Mycobacterium tuberculosis resides within alveolar macrophages. These phagocytes produce reactive nitrogen and oxygen intermediates to combat the invading pathogens. The macrophage glutathione (GSH) pool reduces nitric oxide (NO) to S-nitrosoglutathione (GSNO). Both glutathione disulfide (GSSG) and GSNO possess mycobactericidal activities in vitro. In this study we demonstrate that M. tuberculosis thioredoxin system, comprises of thioredoxin reductase B2 and thioredoxin C reduces the oxidized form of the intracellular mycothiol (MSSM) and is able to efficiently reduce GSSG and GSNO in vitro. Our study suggests that the thioredoxin system provide a general reduction mechanism to cope with oxidative stress associated with the microbe's metabolism as well as to detoxify xenobiotics produced by the host.
Fetched live from OpenAlex and de-inverted. Abstracts are not stored in this database: the inverted indexes are 8.6 GB of the frame’s 9.3 GB of text, and the host has 13 GB free.

Full frame machine prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one source (direct Gemma or distilled Codex), not a consensus.
