Protein disulfide isomerase as an antithrombotic target [PDF]

Trends in Cardiovascular Medicine, 2013
Protein disulfide isomerase (PDI) is a ubiquitously expressed oxidoreductase required for proper protein folding. It is highly concentrated in the endoplasmic reticulum, but can also be released into the extracellular environment. Several in vivo thrombosis models have demonstrated that vascular PDI secreted by platelets and endothelial cells is ...

ER proteostasis meets mitochondrial function: contact sites as hubs of communication and therapeutic targets

The FEBS Journal, EarlyView.
Proteostasis ensures proper protein folding, modification, and degradation, while its impairment triggers ER stress. Chronic ER stress and maladaptive UPR via the CHOP–ERO1 axis remodel ERMCs, altering calcium signaling and mitochondrial metabolism.

The dehydrogenase region of the NADPH oxidase component Nox2 acts as a protein disulfide isomerase (PDI) resembling PDIA3 with a role in the binding of the activator protein p67phox

Frontiers in Chemistry, 2015
The superoxide (O2.-)-generating NADPH oxidase of phagocytes consists of a membrane component, cytochrome b558 (a heterodimer of Nox2 and p22phox), and four cytosolic components, p47phox, p67phox, p40phox, and Rac.

The competitive interplay of 12‐oxophytodienoic acid (OPDA), protein thiols, and glutathione

The FEBS Journal, EarlyView.
12‐Oxophytodienoic acid (OPDA) is a phytohormone involved in plant growth and stress defense. Due to its cyclopentenone moiety, OPDA can form Michael adducts with thiol‐containing compounds such as glutathione and cysteine residues of proteins, resulting in alterations of the cellular redox regulatory network.

Pancreatic adaptive responses in alcohol abuse: Role of the unfolded protein response. [PDF]

, 2015
The majority of those who drink excessive amounts of alcohol do not develop pancreatic disease. One overarching hypothesis is that alcohol abuse requires additional risk factors, either environmental or genetic, for disease to occur.

Process Intensification for an Insect Antimicrobial Peptide Elastin-Like Polypeptide Fusion Produced in Redox-Engineered Escherichia coli

Frontiers in Bioengineering and Biotechnology, 2019
Peptides and proteins containing disulfide bonds can be produced in Escherichia coli by targeting the oxidizing periplasm, co-expressing isomerases or chaperons, refolding from inclusion bodies, or by using redox-engineered E. coli strains.

Prolyl 4-hydroxlase activity is essential for development and cuticle formation in the human infective parasitic nematode Brugia malayi [PDF]

, 2013
Collagen prolyl 4-hydroxylases (C-P4H) are required for formation of extracellular matrices in higher eukaryotes. These enzymes convert proline residues within the repeat regions of collagen polypeptides to 4-hydroxyproline, a modification essential for ...
