Functional Differences in Yeast Protein Disulfide Isomerases [PDF]

The Journal of Cell Biology, 2001
PDI1 is the essential gene encoding protein disulfide isomerase in yeast. The Saccharomyces cerevisiae genome, however, contains four other nonessential genes with homology to PDI1: MPD1, MPD2, EUG1, and EPS1. We have investigated the effects of simultaneous deletions of these genes. In several cases, we found that the ability of the PDI1 homologues to

The Interplay between Chemistry and Mechanics in the Transduction of a Mechanical Signal into a Biochemical Function [PDF]

, 2007
There are many processes in biology in which mechanical forces are generated. Force-bearing networks can transduce locally developed mechanical signals very extensively over different parts of the cell or tissues.

The thiosemicarbazone Me2NNMe2 induces paraptosis by disrupting the ER thiol redox homeostasis based on protein disulfide isomerase inhibition

Cell Death and Disease, 2018
Due to their high biological activity, thiosemicarbazones have been developed for treatment of diverse diseases, including cancer, resulting in multiple clinical trials especially of the lead compound Triapine.

Oxidative Protein-Folding Systems in Plant Cells

International Journal of Cell Biology, 2013
Plants are unique among eukaryotes in having evolved organelles: the protein storage vacuole, protein body, and chloroplast. Disulfide transfer pathways that function in the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) and chloroplasts of plants play critical roles in the

DsbG, a Protein Disulfide Isomerase with Chaperone Activity [PDF]

Journal of Biological Chemistry, 2000
DsbG, a protein disulfide isomerase present in the periplasm of Escherichia coli, is shown to function as a molecular chaperone. Stoichiometric amounts of DsbG are sufficient to prevent the thermal aggregation of two classical chaperone substrate proteins, citrate synthase and luciferase.

Pre-expression of a sulfhydryl oxidase significantly increases the yields of eukaryotic disulfide bond containing proteins expressed in the cytoplasm of E.coli

Microbial Cell Factories, 2011
Background Disulfide bonds are one of the most common post-translational modifications found in proteins. The production of proteins that contain native disulfide bonds is challenging, especially on a large scale.

The Unfolded Protein Response and the Role of Protein Disulfide Isomerase in Neurodegeneration

Front. Cell Dev. Biol., 2016
The maintenance and regulation of proteostasis is a critical function for post-mitotic neurons and its dysregulation is increasingly implicated in neurodegenerative diseases. Despite having different clinical manifestations, these disorders share similar

Identification of Protein-disulfide Isomerase Activity in Fibronectin [PDF]

Journal of Biological Chemistry, 1999
Assembly and degradation of fibronectin-containing extracellular matrices are dynamic processes that are up-regulated during wound healing, embryogenesis, and metastasis. Although several of the early steps leading to fibronectin deposition have been identified, the mechanisms leading to the accumulation of fibronectin in disulfide-stabilized multimers

Orphan proteins of unknown function in the mitochondrial intermembrane space proteome: new pathways and metabolic cross-talk [PDF]

, 2016
The mitochondrial intermembrane space (IMS) is involved in protein transport, lipid homeostasis and metal ion exchange, while further acting in signalling pathways such as apoptosis.
