Abstract
Thioredoxins are widely distributed proteins that function in a broad spectrum of cellular reactions. Plant cells have well characterized chloroplast and cytosolic thioredoxin systems, but, unlike animals and yeast, a mitochondrial counterpart has not been clearly defined. Recently, a complete thioredoxin system has been described in plant mitochondria, opening a new door for the study of thioredoxins as well as mitochondria.
