Arsenate Reductase (ArsC) family, Yffb subfamily; Yffb is an uncharacterized bacterial protein encoded by the yffb gene, related to the thioredoxin-fold arsenic reductases, ArsC. The structure of Yffb and the conservation of the catalytic cysteine suggest that it is likely to function as a glutathione (GSH)-dependent thiol reductase. ArsC catalyzes the reduction of arsenate [As(V)] to arsenite [As(III)], using reducing equivalents derived from GSH via glutaredoxin, through a single catalytic cysteine.
