Peptide methionine sulfoxide reductase (FTS_1906, MsrA) and methionine sulfoxide reductase B (FTS_0370, MsrB) are repair enzymes for proteins that have been inactivated by oxidation and were both described to be up-regulated in macrophages in the early stages post-infection (Wehrly et al., 2009; Pávková et al., 2013). Here, MSRB2 is linked to infection.
