[DSBA_ECOLI] Required for disulfide bond formation in some periplasmic proteins such as PhoA or OmpA. Acts by transferring its disulfide bond to other proteins and is reduced in the process. DsbA is reoxidized by DsbB. Required for pilus biogenesis. PhoP-regulated transcription is redox-sensitive, being activated when the periplasm becomes more reducing (deletion of dsbA/dsbB, treatment with dithiothreitol). MgrB acts between DsbA/DsbB and PhoP/PhoQ in this pathway.[1][2] [DSBB_ECOLI] Required for disulfide bond formation in some periplasmic proteins such as PhoA or OmpA. Acts by oxidizing the DsbA protein.[3][4]

Publication Abstract from PubMed
Disulfide bond formation is a critical step in the folding of many secretory proteins. In bacteria, disulfide bonds are introduced by the periplasmic dithiol oxidase DsbA, which transfers its catalytic disulfide bond to folding polypeptides. Reduced DsbA is reoxidized by ubiquinone Q8, catalyzed by inner membrane quinone reductase DsbB. Here, we report the preparation of a kinetically stable ternary complex between wild-type DsbB, containing all essential cysteines, Q8 and DsbA covalently bound to DsbB. The crystal structure of this trapped DsbB reaction intermediate exhibits a charge-transfer interaction between Q8 and the Cys44 in the DsbB reaction center providing experimental evidence for the mechanism of de novo disulfide bond generation in DsbB.
