Influence of ellagitannins extracted by pomegranate fruit on disulfide isomerase PDIA3 activity [PDF]

, 2019
Pomegranate fruit is a functional food of high interest for human health due to its wide range of phytochemicals with antioxidant properties are implicated in the prevention of inflammation and cancer. Ellagitannins, such as punicalagin and ellagic acid,

Redox proteomics and structural analyses provide insightful implications for additional non-catalytic thiol-disulfide motifs in PDIs

Redox Biology, 2023
Protein disulfide isomerases (PDIs) catalyze redox reactions that reduce, oxidize, or isomerize disulfide bonds and act as chaperones of proteins as they fold. The characteristic features of PDIs are the presence of one or more catalytic thioredoxin (TRX)

Cloning, expression, purification and characterization of a DsbA-like protein from Wolbachia pipientis [PDF]

, 2008
Wolbachia pipientis are obligate endosymbionts that infect a wide range of insect and other arthropod species. They act as reproductive parasites by manipulating the host reproduction machinery to enhance their own transmission. This unusual phenotype is

Structure of the non-catalytic domain of the protein disulfide isomerase-related protein (PDIR) reveals function in protein binding.

PLoS ONE, 2013
Protein disulfide isomerases comprise a large family of enzymes responsible for catalyzing the proper oxidation and folding of newly synthesized proteins in the endoplasmic reticulum (ER). Protein disulfide isomerase-related (PDIR) protein (also known as

Multiple protein disulfide isomerases support thrombosis [PDF]

Current Opinion in Hematology, 2018
Purpose of review The present review provides an overview of recent findings on new members of the protein disulfide isomerase (PDI) family required for thrombosis. Recent findings Twenty years ago PDI was shown to mediate platelet aggregation, and 10 years ago PDI was shown to ...

Inhibition of thiol isomerase activity diminishes endothelial activation of plasminogen, but not of protein C [PDF]

, 2015
Highlights •A range of thiol isomerase enzymes were expressed by HMEC-1 endothelial cells. •Inhibition of thiol isomerases reduced plasminogen activation on HMEC-1 cells.

Protein disulfide isomerase mediates integrin‐dependent adhesion [PDF]

FEBS Letters, 2000
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.

Intracellular trafficking, localization, and mobilization of platelet-borne thiol isomerases [PDF]

, 2016
OBJECTIVE: Thiol isomerases facilitate protein folding in the endoplasmic reticulum, and several of these enzymes, including protein disulfide isomerase and ERp57, are mobilized to the surface of activated platelets, where they influence platelet ...

Roles of Protein Disulfide Isomerase in Breast Cancer [PDF]

Cancers, 2022
Protein disulfide isomerase (PDI) is the endoplasmic reticulum (ER)’s most abundant and essential enzyme and serves as the primary catalyst for protein folding. Due to its apparent role in supporting the rapid proliferation of cancer cells, the selective blockade of PDI results in apoptosis through sustained activation of UPR pathways. The functions of

A Protein Disulfide Isomerase Controls Neuronal Migration through Regulation of Wnt Secretion

Cell Reports, 2019
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 ...
