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).

von Willebrand factor is dimerized by protein disulfide isomerase.
Multimeric von Willebrand factor (VWF) is essential for primary hemostasis. The biosynthesis of VWF high-molecular-weight multimers requires spatial separation of each step because of varying pH value requirements.

Thiol-Disulfide Isomerization in Thrombospondin: Effects of Conformation and Protein Disulfide Isomerase [PDF]
AbstractThiol-disulfide isomerization in thrombospondin may affect the function of this adhesive protein. Two assays were developed to analyze the determinants of thiol-disulfide exchange and to correlate this exchange with thrombospondin conformation.

EFP1 is an ER stress-induced glycoprotein which interacts with the pro-apoptotic protein Par-4 [PDF]
We have isolated the rat ortholog of EFP1 (EF-hand binding protein 1) as a novel interaction partner of the pro-apoptotic protein Par-4 (prostate apoptosis response-4).

Distribution of protein disulfide isomerase in rat hepatocytes. [PDF]
We investigated quantitatively the distribution of protein disulfide isomerase (PDI) in rat hepatocytes by immunocytochemistry using a post-embedding protein A-gold technique. In hepatocytes, gold particles were mainly localized in the intracisternal space of the rough and smooth endoplasmic reticulum (ER) and nuclear envelopes.

Engineered Pathways for Correct Disulfide Bond Oxidation [PDF]
Correct formation of disulfide bonds is critical for protein folding. We find that cells lacking protein disulfide isomerases (PDIs) can use alternative mechanisms for correct disulfide bond formation.

Protein Disulfide Isomerase Modulates the Activation of Thyroid Hormone Receptors
Thyroid hormone receptors (TRs) are responsible for mediating thyroid hormone (T3 and T4) actions at a cellular level. They belong to the nuclear receptor (NR) superfamily and execute their main functions inside the cell nuclei as hormone-regulated ...
