Association of cyclophilins and cardiovascular risk factors in coronary artery disease
Cyclophilins are chaperone proteins that play important roles in signal transduction. Among them, cyclophilins A, B, C, and D were widely associated with inflammation and cardiovascular diseases. Cyclophilins A and C have been proposed as coronary artery

Extracellular cyclophilins A and C induce dysfunction of pancreatic microendothelial cells
Extracellular cyclophilins (eCyps) A and B are chemotactic mediators in several illnesses in which inflammation plays an important role such as diabetes and cardiovascular diseases.

Cyclophilin‐B is an abundant protein whose conformation is similar to cyclophilin‐A [PDF]
Cyclophilin‐B (bCyP‐20) was isolated in a relatively high quantity from calf brain and spleen tissues consecutively applying weak cation exchange, chromatofocusing and strong cation exchange chromatographies. Edman degradation yielded the N‐terminal sequence NH2‐DEKKKGPKVTVK‐VYFDLRIGDEDIGRVVIGLFGKTVPKTVDNFVAL.

Delineation of the calcineurin‐interacting region of cyclophilin B [PDF]
AbstractThe immunosuppressant drug cyclosporin A (CsA) inhibits T‐cell function by blocking the phosphatase activity of calcineurin. This effect is mediated by formation of a complex between the drug and cyclophilin (CyP), which creates a composite surface able to make high‐affinity contacts with calcineurin.

Assisted evolution enables HIV-1 to overcome a high trim5α-imposed genetic barrier to rhesus macaque tropism [PDF]
Diversification of antiretroviral factors during host evolution has erected formidable barriers to cross-species retrovirus transmission. This phenomenon likely protects humans from infection by many modern retroviruses, but it has also impaired the ...

Genomic and proteomic analysis of Schizaphis graminum reveals cyclophilin proteins are involved in the transmission of cereal yellow dwarf virus. [PDF]
Yellow dwarf viruses cause the most economically important virus diseases of cereal crops worldwide and are transmitted by aphid vectors. The identification of aphid genes and proteins mediating virus transmission is critical to develop agriculturally ...

Inhibition of calcineurin by cyclosporin A‐cyclophilin requires calcineurin B [PDF]
The interaction of the immunosuppressive complex cyclosporin A‐cyclophilin (CsA‐CyP) with the Ca2+/calmodulin‐dependent protein phosphatase calcineurin is investigated using a recombinant form of the A subunit of calcineurin (rCNA). Only in the presence of purified calcineurin B (CNB) does rCNA show the response of native calcineurin, i.e.

Peptidyl-prolyl cis-trans isomerases (immunophilins) and their roles in parasite biochemistry, host-parasite interaction and antiparasitic drug action. [PDF]
Immunophilin is the collective name given to the cyclophilin and FK506-binding protein (FKBP) families. As the name suggests, these include the major binding proteins of certain immunosuppressive drugs: cyclophilins for the cyclic peptide cyclosporin A ...

Cyclophilins A and B oppositely regulate renal tubular epithelial cell phenotype [PDF]
Abstract Restoration of kidney tubular epithelium following sublethal injury sequentially involves partial epithelial–mesenchymal transition (pEMT), proliferation, and further redifferentiation into specialized tubule epithelial cells (TECs).
