Mechanisms of Disulfide Bond Formation in Nascent Polypeptides Entering the Secretory Pathway

open access: yesCells, 2020
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).

The protein disulfide isomerase 1 of Phytophthora parasitica (PpPDI1) is associated with the haustoria-like structures and contributes to plant infection [PDF]

open access: yes, 2015
The protein disulfide isomerase (PDI) is a ubiquitous and multifunction enzyme belonging to the thioredoxin (TRX) superfamily, which can reduce, oxidize, and catalyze dithiol-disulfide exchange reactions.

The Role of Oxidative Stress in Periodontitis

open access: yesJournal of Periodontal Research, EarlyView.
Oxidative stress is involved in multiple chemical reactions that take place in different intracellular organelles: mitochondria, rough endoplasmic reticulum, peroxisomes, autophagy, and aging, and can be influenced by exogenous factors: nutrition, physical activity, psychological status, environmental conditions, microbiome, and drugs.

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

open access: yesFront. 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

Stage-specific proteomes from onchocerca ochengi, sister species of the human river blindness parasite, uncover adaptations to a nodular lifestyle [PDF]

open access: yes, 2016
Despite 40 years of control efforts, onchocerciasis (river blindness) remains one of the most important neglected tropical diseases, with 17 million people affected.

Natural Products Targeting Protein Disulfide Isomerases: New Frontiers for Diabetes, Cancer, and Coagulation

open access: yesFood Frontiers
The protein disulfide isomerase (PDI) family comprises 21 members that have oxidase, reductase, isomerase, and foldase activities essential for human health and disease. Protein disulfide isomerase A4 (PDIA4) is the largest member in this family.

Unfolding Plant Defence: Endoplasmic Reticulum Stress Signalling at the Plant‐Pathogen Interface

open access: yesPlant Biotechnology Journal, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stress response, a conserved proteostasis network, has emerged as a central hub that reprograms plant immunity during pathogen attack. This review synthesises how plants harness ER‐stress signalling to mount multilayered defences and how pathogens have evolved counterstrategies to subvert these pathways.

Protein Disulfide Isomerase Modulates the Activation of Thyroid Hormone Receptors

open access: yesFrontiers in Endocrinology, 2019
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 ...

Selective Inhibition of Protein Disulfide Isomerase by Estrogens

open access: yesJournal of Biological Chemistry, 1989
Protein disulfide isomerase (PDI) is a multifunctional microsomal enzyme that participates in the formation of protein disulfide bonds. PDI catalyzes the reduction of protein disulfide bonds in the presence of excess reduced glutathione and has been implicated in the reductive degradation of insulin; E.

High-resolution NMR studies of structure and dynamics of human ERp27 indicate extensive interdomain flexibility [PDF]

open access: yes, 2013
ERp27 (endoplasmic reticulum protein 27.7 kDa) is a homologue of PDI (protein disulfide-isomerase) localized to the endoplasmic reticulum. ERp27 is predicted to consist of two thioredoxinfold domains homologous with the non-catalytic b and b domains of ...
