FKBPs in bacterial infections

open access: yesBiochimica et Biophysica Acta (BBA) - General Subjects, 2015
FK506-binding proteins (FKBPs) contain a domain with peptidyl-prolyl-cis/trans-isomerase (PPIase) activity and bind the immunosuppressive drugs FK506 and rapamycin. FKBPs belong to the immunophilin family and are found in eukaryotes and bacteria.In this review we describe two major groups of bacterial virulence-associated FKBPs, the trigger factor and ...

Bioinformatic Analysis Reveals Conservation of Intrinsic Disorder in the Linker Sequences of Prokaryotic Dual-family Immunophilin Chaperones

open access: yesComputational and Structural Biotechnology Journal, 2018
The two classical immunophilin families, found essentially in all living cells, are: cyclophilin (CYN) and FK506-binding protein (FKBP). We previously reported a novel class of immunophilins that are natural chimera of these two, which we named dual ...

FK506 regulates IP3 evoked Ca2+ release independently of FKBP in endothelial cells [PDF]

open access: yes, 2020
Background and Purpose FK506 and rapamycin are modulators of FK-binding proteins (FKBP) that are used to suppress immune function after organ and hematopoietic stem cell transplantations.

Dual-Family Peptidylprolyl Isomerases (Immunophilins) of Select Monocellular Organisms

open access: yesBiomolecules, 2018
The dual-family peptidylprolyl cis-trans isomerases (immunophilins) represent a naturally occurring chimera of the classical FK506-binding protein (FKBP) and cyclophilin (CYN), connected by a flexible linker.

Caffeine‐Operated Synthetic Modules for Chemogenetic Control of Protein Activities by Life Style

open access: yesAdvanced Science, 2021
A genetically encoded caffeine‐operated synthetic module (COSMO) is introduced herein as a robust chemically induced dimerization (CID) system. COSMO enables chemogenetic manipulation of biological processes by caffeine and its metabolites, as well as ...

Distribution of Peptidyl-Prolyl Isomerase (PPIase) in the Archaea

open access: yesFrontiers in Microbiology, 2021
Cis-trans isomerization of the peptide bond prior to proline is an intrinsically slow process but plays an essential role in protein folding. In vivo cis-trans isomerization reaction is catalyzed by Peptidyl-prolyl isomerase (PPIases), a category of ...

[4.3.1] Bicyclic FKBP ligands inhibit Legionella pneumophila infection by LpMip-dependent and LpMip independent mechanisms

open access: yes, 2023
Legionella pneumophila is the causative agent of Legionnaires’ disease, a serious form of pneumonia. Its macrophage infectiv-ity potentiator (Mip), a member of a highly conserved family of FK506-binding proteins, plays a major role in the prolifera-tion ...

Basic surface features of nuclear FKBPs facilitate chromatin binding

open access: yesScientific Reports, 2017
The nucleoplasmin family of histone chaperones is identified by a pentamer-forming domain and multiple acidic tracts that mediate histone binding and chaperone activity.

Recent progress with FKBP-derived destabilizing domains [PDF]

open access: yesBioorganic & Medicinal Chemistry Letters, 2008
The FKBP-derived destabilizing domains are increasingly being used to confer small molecule-dependent stability to many different proteins. The L106P domain confers instability to yellow fluorescent protein when it is fused to the N-terminus, the C-terminus, or spliced into the middle of yellow fluorescent protein, however multiple copies of L106P do ...

Calcineurin inhibitors stimulate Kir4.1/Kir5.1 of the distal convoluted tubule to increase NaCl cotransporter

open access: yesJCI Insight, 2023
We examine whether calcineurin or protein phosphatase 2B (PP2B) regulates the basolateral inwardly rectifying potassium channel Kir4.1/Kir5.1 in the distal convoluted tubule (DCT). Application of tacrolimus (FK506) or cyclosporine A (CsA) increased whole-
