A Guide to PIN1 Function and Mutations Across Cancers

Frontiers in Pharmacology, 2019
PIN1 is a member of a family of peptidylprolyl isomerases that bind phosphoproteins and catalyze the rapid cis–trans isomerization of proline peptidyl bonds, resulting in an alteration of protein structure, function, and stability.

Investigations of the Evolved Molecular Basis for Terpenoid Biosynthesis in Marine Sponges

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Confirming and extending a previous observation in another Bubarida sponge, genomic and functional analyses of A. cavernosa reveal that sponges retain the mevalonate pathway and employ single α‐domain T1TSs and UbiA‐type TSs for terpenoid biosynthesis. The absence of T1TSs clustering with other biosynthetic genes tentatively suggests, based on limited ...

Protein disulphide isomerase [PDF]

Current Biology, 2003
What is it? Protein disulphide isomerase is an enzyme with two interrelated activities: as an oxidoreductase, it can catalyse the formation, reduction and isomerisation of disulphide bonds; and as a polypeptide binding protein, it can function as a molecular chaperone which assists the folding of polypeptides.

AS‐pHopt: An Optimal pH Prediction Model Enhanced by Active Site of Enzymes

Advanced Intelligent Discovery, EarlyView.
To address the low accuracy of enzyme optimal pH (pHopt) prediction, this study develops active site‐based pHopt (AS‐pHopt), a prediction model enhanced by active site information and pseudo‐label prediction. Integrating key structural and physicochemical features affecting enzyme pHopt, AS‐pHopt uses Evolutionary Scale Modeling (ESM)‐2 with active ...

HPW-RX40 prevents human platelet activation by attenuating cell surface protein disulfide isomerases

Redox Biology, 2017
Protein disulfide isomerase (PDI) present at platelet surfaces has been considered to play an important role in the conformational change and activation of the integrin glycoprotein IIb/IIIa (GPIIb/IIIa) and thus enhances platelet aggregation.

Inhibition of Phosphoglucose Isomerase [PDF]

Nature, 1956
THE key carbohydrate intermediate, glucose 6-phosphate, which may follow several alternative metabolic pathways including the 6-phosphogluconate oxidative cycle and the glycolytic sequence, enters the latter route by the phosphoglucose isomerase reaction.

Functional Specialization of Respiratory and Olfactory Mucus Revealed by Proteomic Profiling

International Forum of Allergy &Rhinology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Mucus overlies the nasal mucosa in the respiratory and olfactory regions, which perform distinct physiological functions. However, proteomic differences between respiratory mucosa (RM) and olfactory cleft (OC) mucus remain unclear.

Differential activity of rice protein disulfide isomerase family members for disulfide bond formation and reduction

FEBS Open Bio, 2014
Protein disulfide isomerases (PDIs), a family of thiol-disulfide oxidoreductases that are ubiquitous in all eukaryotes, are the principal catalysts for disulfide bond formation. Here, we investigated three rice (Oryza sativa) PDI family members (PDIL1;1,

Biosynthesis of the Fully Saturated C16 Homosesquiterpene Descartane Through Deprotonation With Cyclopropanation

Angewandte Chemie International Edition, EarlyView.
A non‐canonical C16 sesquiterpene synthase from Morganella morganii produces the unusual scaffold descartane. Its cyclisation mechanism was rationalised by isotopic labelling experiments and DFT calculations. Site‐directed mutagenesis altered enzyme function, resulting in alternative products, including voltairene, which requires a different ...

Evolutionary, Functional and Mechanistic Characterisation of Microbial Terpene Synthase‐Like Genes From Springtails

Angewandte Chemie International Edition, EarlyView.
A genome analysis revealed the presence of many bacterial‐type terpene synthases in springtails. Four enzymes from Sinella curviseta were functionally characterised, resulting in the isolation of several compounds including sinellene ether, the first diterpene ether identified from a terpene synthase that represents a novel skeleton.
