Vibrio cholerae ensures function of host proteins required for virulence through consumption of luminal methionine sulfoxide

Vanhove AS, Hang S, Vijayakumar V, Wong CN, Asara JM, Watnick PI.
Using the fly as a model, Audrey Vanhove and Saiyu Hang have discovered a novel virulence mechanism of intestinal pathogens in which consumption of dietary methionine sulfoxide by V. cholerae liberates host methionine sulfoxide reductase to repair oxidized host intestinal proteins required for virulence.
