A bstract : This paper describes the existence of two pathways efficient in the reduction of disulfide bridges on selected proteins and mitochondria of photosynthetic organisms. The first is constituted by NADPH, the flavoenzyme NADPH thioredoxin reductase, and thioredoxin; and the second by NADPH, glutathione reductase, glutathione, and glutaredoxin. Molecular details concerning the proteins participating in these redox regulatory cascades are provided, and their molecular targets and functions are described.
