Description: Drosophila melanogaster can withstand hours of oxygen deprivation (anoxia) by entering a protective coma called spreading depression. When oxygen is reintroduced to the cells, a burst of reactive oxygen species (ROS) causes oxidative damage. Methionine is susceptible to oxidation to form methionine sulfoxide. This oxidation is reversible where methionine sulfoxide reductase (Msr) A and B reduce… more
