Resolving the functions of peptidylprolyl isomerases: insights from the mutagenesis of the nuclear FKBP25 enzyme [PDF]
Peptidylprolyl isomerases have been implicated in chromatin regulation through their association with histones, chromatin-modifying enzymes and DNA-binding transcription factors. As with other post-translational modifications to proteins, a mechanistic understanding of the regulation of biological processes is fostered by loss-of-function studies both ...

Cyclophilin J limits inflammation through the blockage of ubiquitin chain sensing
Nuclear factor-kappa B (NF-κB) signaling is regulated by ubiquitin to maintain immune homeostasis. Here the authors show that a peptidylprolyl isomerase, CYPJ, blocks TAB2/3 or LUBAC ubiquitin chain sensing and suppress NF-κB activation, with CYPJ ...

Introduction to Peptidyl-Prolyl cis/trans Isomerase (PPIase) Series
About 30 years after the discovery of peptidyl-prolyl cis/trans isomerases (PPIases), research on this group of proteins has become somewhat calmer than it used to be, but it still generates lots of interest [...]

Membrane Permeable Cyclic Peptidyl Inhibitors against Human Peptidylprolyl Isomerase Pin1 [PDF]
Peptidylprolyl isomerase Pin1 regulates the function and/or stability of phosphoproteins by altering the conformation of specific pSer/pThr-Pro peptide bonds. In this work, a cyclic peptide library was synthesized and screened against the catalytic domain of human Pin1. The selected inhibitors contained a consensus motif of D-pThr-Pip-Nal (where Pip is

Role of Periplasmic Peptidylprolyl Isomerases in Salmonella enterica Serovar Typhimurium Virulence [PDF]
ABSTRACT FkpA is a peptidylprolyl isomerase whose expression is regulated by the alternative sigma factor, sigma factor E (σ E ). In contrast to the results of a previous report, inactivation of fkpA was found to have only a minor effect on the ability of Salmonella ...

Identification of heat shock protein70-2 and protamine-1 mRNA, proteins, and analyses of their association with fertility using frozen-thawed sperm in Madura bulls [PDF]
Objective This study aims to identify heat shock protein70-2 (HSP70-2) and protamine-1 (PRM1) mRNA and protein in Madura bull sperm and demonstrate their relation as bull fertility biomarkers. Methods The Madura bull fertility rates were grouped based on

Peptidylprolyl Isomerases as In Vivo Carriers for Drugs That Target Various Intracellular Entities [PDF]
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 hydrophobicity indexes vary within a considerable level whereas their points isoelectric (pIs) are ...

Bioinformatics analysis and experimental validation of tumorigenic role of PPIA in gastric cancer
Gastric cancer (GC) is a malignant tumor with high incidence rate and mortality. Due to the lack of effective diagnostic indicators, most patients are diagnosed in late stage and have a poor prognosis.

Plant organelles contain distinct peptidylprolyl cis,trans-isomerases.
Peptidylprolyl cis,trans-isomerase (PPIase) activity was detected in the cytosol, mitochondria, and chloroplast of pea plants. Cyclosporin A inhibited the activity largely localized to the mitochondrial matrix while rapamycin inhibited the PPIase activity associated with the mitochondrial membranes.

Cyclophilin J PPIase Inhibitors Derived from 2,3-Quinoxaline-6 Amine Exhibit Antitumor Activity
Cyclophilin J (CyPJ), also called peptidylprolyl isomerase like 3, has been identified as a novel member of the cyclophilin family. Our previous research has resolved the three-dimensional structure of CyPJ and demonstrated the peptidylprolyl cis–trans ...
