Inhibition of protein disulfide isomerase induces differentiation of acute myeloid leukemia cells
A cute myeloid leukemia is a malignant disease of immature myeloid cells. Despite significant therapeutic effects of differentiation-inducing agents in some acute myeloid leukemia subtypes, the disease remains incurable in a large fraction of patients ...

Folding of a single domain protein entering the endoplasmic reticulum precedes disulfide formation [PDF]
The relationship between protein synthesis, folding and disulfide formation within the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) is poorly understood. Previous studies have suggested pre-existing disulfide links are absolutely required to allow protein folding and ...

Protein disulfide isomerase a multifunctional protein with multiple physiological roles
Protein disulfide isomerase (PDI), is a member of the thioredoxin superfamily of redox proteins. PDI has three catalytic activities including, thiol-disulfide oxireductase, disulfide isomerase and redox-dependent chaperone.

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).

Oxidative protein folding in the mitochondrial intermembrane space [PDF]
Disulfide bond formation is a crucial step for oxidative folding and necessary for the acquisition of a protein's native conformation. Introduction of disulfide bonds is catalyzed in specialized subcellular compartments and requires the coordinated ...

Redox Control of Exofacial Protein Thiols/Disulfides by Protein Disulfide Isomerase [PDF]
Protein disulfide isomerase (PDI) facilitates proper folding and disulfide bonding of nascent proteins in the endoplasmic reticulum and is secreted by cells and associates with the cell surface. We examined the consequence of over- or underexpression of PDI in HT1080 fibrosarcoma cells for the redox state of cell-surface protein thiols/disulfides ...

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.

Protein disulfide isomerase interacts with tau protein and inhibits its fibrillization. [PDF]
BACKGROUND: Tau protein is implicated in the pathogenesis of neurodegenerative disorders such as tauopathies including Alzheimer disease, and Tau fibrillization is thought to be related to neuronal toxicity. Physiological inhibitors of Tau fibrillization
