Role of protein disulfide isomerase in activation of integrins
Integrins belong to a large family of transmembrane cell adhesion receptors that communicate biochemical and mechanical signals in a bidirectional manner across the plasma membrane. Integrins and their ligands play a crucial role in a number of physiological and pathological processes, including cell migration, cell differentiation, hemostasis ...

Protein disulfide isomerase mediates integrin‐dependent adhesion [PDF]
Cell adhesion is mediated by the integrin adhesion receptors. Receptor–ligand interaction involves conformational changes in the receptor, but the underlying mechanism remains unclear. Our earlier work implied a role for sulfhydryls in integrin response to ligand binding in the intact blood platelet.

Multistep, sequential control of the trafficking and function of the multiple sulfatase deficiency gene product, SUMF1 by PDI, ERGIC-53 and ERp44. [PDF]
Sulfatase modifying factor 1 (SUMF1) encodes for the formylglicine generating enzyme, which activates sulfatases by modifying a key cysteine residue within their catalytic domains. SUMF1 is mutated in patients affected by multiple sulfatase deficiency, a

A Protein Disulfide Isomerase Controls Neuronal Migration through Regulation of Wnt Secretion
Summary: Appropriate Wnt morphogen secretion is required to control animal development and homeostasis. Although correct Wnt globular structure is essential for secretion, proteins that directly mediate Wnt folding and maturation remain uncharacterized ...

Oxidative protein folding in the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) is driven mainly by protein disulfide isomerase PDI and oxidoreductin Ero1. Their activity is tightly regulated and interconnected with the unfolded protein response (UPR).

Significance The majority of secreted proteins contain disulfide bonds that provide structural stability in the extracellular environment. The formation of correct disulfide bonds is assisted by the enzyme protein disulfide isomerase (PDI). Most secreted

Proteome Analysis of Corynebacterium diphtheriae–Macrophage Interaction
ABSTRACT Contact of Corynebacterium diphtheriae with macrophages induces adaptations on both bacterial and cellular sides. The study presented here was aiming to shed light on the simultaneous intracellular adaptation of the bacteria and changes in the proteome of the phagocytes in response to the internalization of C. diphtheriae.

ABSTRACT Collagen prolyl 4‐hydroxylase (C‐P4H) catalyzes the 4‐hydroxylation of Y‐prolines of the XYG‐repeat of procollagen. C‐P4Hs are tetrameric α2β2 enzymes. The α‐subunit provides the N‐terminal dimerization domain, the middle peptide‐substrate–binding (PSB) domain, and the C‐terminal catalytic (CAT) domain.

Mechanisms of Disulfide Bond Formation in Nascent Polypeptides Entering the Secretory Pathway
Disulfide bonds are an abundant feature of proteins across all domains of life that are important for structure, stability, and function. In eukaryotic cells, a major site of disulfide bond formation is the endoplasmic reticulum (ER).

A novel approach is developed to pancreatic cancer screening by targeting the cyclophili‐B (CypB)protein using a molecularly imprinted polymer with the electrode material containing Pt single‐atom‐doped/SeS2‐Ti3CNTx MXene. The quantification of CypB in pancreatic cancer tissues provide an insight into the association of CypB with pancreatic cancer ...
