Versatility of Cyclophilins in Plant Growth and Survival: A Case Study in Arabidopsis
Cyclophilins (CYPs) belong to a peptidyl-prolyl cis-trans isomerase family, and were first characterized in mammals as a target of an immunosuppressive drug, cyclosporin A, preventing proinflammatory cytokine production.

Novel inhibitors of the calcineurin/NFATc hub - alternatives to CsA and FK506? [PDF]
The drugs cyclosporine A (CsA) and tacrolimus (FK506) revolutionized organ transplantation. Both compounds are still widely used in the clinic as well as for basic research, even though they have dramatic side effects and modulate other pathways than ...

Cyclosporine inhibits a direct interaction between cyclophilins and hepatitis C NS5A.
BackgroundHepatitis C Virus (HCV) infection is a leading indication for liver transplantation. HCV infection reoccurs almost universally post transplant, decreasing both graft longevity and patient survival.

Peptidylprolyl Isomerases as In Vivo Carriers for Drugs That Target Various Intracellular Entities
Analyses of sequences and structures of the cyclosporine A (CsA)-binding proteins (cyclophilins) and the immunosuppressive macrolide FK506-binding proteins (FKBPs) have revealed that they exhibit peculiar spatial distributions of charges, their overall ...

Epstein-Barr virus, infectious mononucleosis, and posttransplant lymphoproliferative disorders. [PDF]
PTLD may be considered as an "opportunistic cancer" in which the immunodeficiency state of the host plays a key role in fostering the environment necessary for abnormal lymphoproliferation.

Transmembrane segment proteases [PDF]
Summary: Transmembrane segment proteases comprise a novel class of proteases that cleave substrates within hydrophobic membrane-spanning segments. They cleave in parts of proteins that upon first glance should be protected by the hydrophobic environment ...

Extracellular cyclophilins in health and disease
Extracellular cyclophilins (eCyPs) are pro-inflammatory factors implicated in pathogenesis of a number of inflammatory diseases. Most pathogenic activities of eCyPs are related to their chemotactic action towards leukocytes, which is mediated by eCyP receptor on target cells, CD147, and involves peptidyl-prolyl cis-trans isomerase activity of ...
