A Functional Analysis of the Cyclophilin Repertoire in the Protozoan Parasite Trypanosoma Cruzi
Trypanosoma cruzi is the etiological agent of Chagas disease. It affects eight million people worldwide and can be spread by several routes, such as vectorborne transmission in endemic areas and congenitally, and is also important in non-endemic regions ...

Background The peptidyl-prolyl cis/trans isomerase (PPIase) class of proteins is present in all known eukaryotes, prokaryotes, and archaea, and it is comprised of three member families that share the ability to catalyze the cis/trans isomerisation of a ...

PPIase catalysis by human FK506-binding protein proceeds through a conformational twist mechanism.
FK506-binding protein (FKBP) catalyzes the cis-trans isomerization of the peptidyl-prolyl amide bond (the PPIase reaction) and is the major intracellular receptor for the immunosuppressive drugs FK506 and rapamycin. One mechanism proposed for catalysis of the PPIase reaction requires attack of an enzyme nucleophile on the carbonyl carbon of the ...

Non-Catalytic Participation of the Pin1 Peptidyl-Prolyl Isomerase Domain in Target Binding
Pin1 is a phosphorylation-dependent peptidyl-prolyl isomerase that has the potential to add an additional level of regulation within protein kinase mediated signaling pathways.

Dual client binding sites in the ATP-independent chaperone SurA
The ATP-independent chaperone SurA protects unfolded outer membrane proteins (OMPs) from aggregation in the periplasm of Gram-negative bacteria, and delivers them to the β-barrel assembly machinery (BAM) for folding into the outer membrane (OM ...

Optimization of the antiviral spectrum of cyclophilin inhibitors targeting respiratory viruses
We evaluated the antiviral activity of a library of 36 urea-based small-molecule cyclophilin inhibitors (SMCypIs) against human respiratory syncytial virus (hRSV) and human metapneumovirus (hMPV).
