Inhibition of Protein Disulfide Isomerase in Thrombosis [PDF]
AbstractThis MiniReview addresses our current understanding of the mechanisms by which protein disulfide isomerase (PDI) mediates thrombus formation and discusses the potential of blocking thrombosis by targeting PDI. Thiol isomerases are ubiquitous oxidoreductases primarily localized to the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) where they serve a critical role ...

Substrate recognition by the protein disulfide isomerases [PDF]
Protein folding in the endoplasmic reticulum is often associated with the formation of native disulfide bonds. Their primary function is to stabilize the folded structure of the protein, although disulfide bond formation can also play a regulatory role.

Interaction of Calreticulin with Protein Disulfide Isomerase [PDF]
We report here that calreticulin interacts with protein disulfide isomerase (PDI). The PDI-calreticulin complex can be dissociated by Zn(2+)-iminodiacetate-substituted Sepharose-agarose chromatography, suggesting that these interactions may be Zn2+-dependent.

Endoplasmic reticulum H₂O₂ : Ero1-driven generation and GPx-mediated detoxification [PDF]
Endoplasmic reticulum (ER) oxidoreductin 1 alpha (Ero1alpha) is an ER-resident oxidase, which utilizes molecular oxygen (O2) as terminal electron acceptor to produce disulfide bonds and hydrogen peroxide (H2O2).

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

Reversal of Alpha-Synuclein Fibrillization by Protein Disulfide Isomerase
Aggregates of α-synuclein contribute to the etiology of Parkinson’s Disease. Protein disulfide isomerase (PDI), a chaperone and oxidoreductase, blocks the aggregation of α-synuclein.

A novel reaction of peroxiredoxin 4 towards substrates in oxidative protein folding. [PDF]
Peroxiredoxin 4 (Prx4) is the only endoplasmic reticulum localized peroxiredoxin. It functions not only to eliminate peroxide but also to promote oxidative protein folding via oxidizing protein disulfide isomerase (PDI).
