Native protein disulfide bond formation in the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) requires protein disulfide isomerase (PDI) and Ero1p. Here we show that oxidizing equivalents flow from Ero1p to substrate proteins via PDI. PDI is predominantly oxidized in wild-type cells but is reduced in an ero1-1 mutant. Direct dithiol-disulfide exchange between PDI and Ero1p is indicated by the capture of PDI-Ero1p mixed disulfides. Mixed disulfides can also be detected between PDI and the ER precursor of carboxypeptidase Y (CPY). Further, PDI1 is required for the net formation of disulfide bonds in newly synthesized CPY, indicating that PDI functions as an oxidase in vivo. Together, these results define a pathway for protein disulfide bond formation in the ER. The PDI homolog Mpd2p is also oxidized by Ero1p.  相似文献

Protein disulfide isomerase (PDI) and its pancreatic homolog (PDIp) are folding catalysts for the formation, reduction, and/or isomerization of disulfide bonds in substrate proteins. However, the question as to whether PDI and PDIp can directly attack the native disulfide bonds in substrate proteins is still not answered, which is the subject of the present study. We found that RNase can be thermally unfolded at 65°C under non-reductive conditions while its native disulfide bonds remain intact, and the unfolded RNase can refold and reactivate during cooling. Co-incubation of RNase with PDI or PDIp during thermal unfolding can inactivate RNase in a PDI/PDIp concentration-dependent manner. The alkylated PDI and PDIp, which are devoid of enzymatic activities, cannot inactivate RNase, suggesting that the inactivation of RNase results from the disruption of its native disulfide bonds catalyzed by the enzymatic activities of PDI/PDIp. In support of this suggestion, we show that both PDI and PDIp form stable disulfide-linked complexes only with thermally-unfolded RNase, and RNase in the complexes can be released and reactivated dependently of the redox conditions used. The N-terminal active site of PDIp is essential for the inactivation of RNase. These data indicate that PDI and PDIp can perform thiol-disulfide exchange reactions with native disulfide bonds in unfolded RNase via formation of stable disulfide-linked complexes, and from these complexes RNase is further released.  相似文献

Protein disulfide isomerase (PDI) supports proinsulin folding as chaperone and isomerase. Here, we focus on how the two PDI functions influence individual steps in the complex folding process of proinsulin. We generated a PDI mutant (PDI-aba'c) where the b' domain was partially deleted, thus abolishing peptide binding but maintaining a PDI-like redox potential. PDI-aba'c catalyzes the folding of human proinsulin by increasing the rate of formation and the final yield of native proinsulin. Importantly, PDI-aba'c isomerizes non-native disulfide bonds in completely oxidized folding intermediates, thereby accelerating the formation of native disulfide bonds. We conclude that peptide binding to PDI is not essential for disulfide isomerization in fully oxidized proinsulin folding intermediates.  相似文献

Protein disulfide isomerase (PDI) has an essential role in the process of disulfide bond formation, where it catalyzes disulfide bond formation, reduction, and isomerization. It is thought that the major route for oxidizing dithiols in folding proteins to disulfides is via Ero1-mediated oxidation of PDI. Since the discovery of Ero1, the role of glutathione in disulfide bond formation has been downplayed. In this study, the role of glutathione in disulfide bond formation was reexamined. Here we have studied in vitro the kinetics of the glutathione-mediated oxidation and reduction of the catalytic a domains of human PDI and yeast Pdi1p. The results obtained from stopped-flow and quenched-flow experiments show that the reactions of PDI and Pdi1p are faster and more complex than previously thought. Our results suggest that the kinetics of oxidation of PDI and Pdi1p by oxidized glutathione are remarkably similar, whereas the kinetics of reduction by reduced glutathione shows clear differences. The data generated here on the rapid reactivity of PDI towards glutathione suggest that reevaluation is required for several aspects of the field of catalyzed disulfide bond formation, including the potential physiological role of glutathione.  相似文献

Members of the protein disulfide isomerase (PDI) family play a critical role in catalyzing the formation of disulfide bonds in secretory proteins, and most of these enzymes have a wide tissue distribution. However, the pancreas-specific PDI homolog was previously suggested to be exclusively expressed in the pancreas (thus commonly referred to as PDIp). In the present study, we found that PDIp was also highly expressed in several other tissues in mice, including the stomach, cecum, ileum, adrenal glands, epididymis, and prostate. Notably, in the digestive organs, such as the stomach and pancreas, very high levels of PDIp were selectively expressed in the digestive enzyme-secreting cells (e.g., gastric chief cells and pancreatic acinar cells). This observation suggests that PDIp may function as a protein-folding catalyst for secretory digestive enzymes. In ileum, PDIp was exclusively expressed in Paneth cells. In addition, high levels of PDIp expression were also detected in normal human pancreas, but its expression was mostly absent in human pancreatic duct adenocarcinoma and pancreatic cancer cell lines. The absence of PDIp expression in pancreatic adenocarcinoma may serve as an additional biomarker for pancreatic cancer.  相似文献

Oxidative refolding of the dimeric alkaline protease inhibitor (API) from Streptomyces sp. NCIM 5127 has been investigated. We demonstrate here that both isomerase and chaperone functions of the protein folding catalyst, protein disulfide isomerase (PDI), are essential for efficient refolding of denatured-reduced API (dr-API). Although the role of PDI as an isomerase and a chaperone has been reported for a few monomeric proteins, its role as a foldase in refolding of oligomeric proteins has not been demonstrated hitherto. Spontaneous refolding and reactivation of dr-API in redox buffer resulted in 45% to 50% reactivation. At concentrations <0.25 microM, reactivation rates and yields of dr-API are accelerated by catalytic amounts of PDI through its isomerase activity, which promotes disulfide bond formation and rearrangement. dr-API is susceptible to aggregation at concentrations >25 microM, and a large molar excess of PDI is required to enhance reactivation yields. PDI functions as a chaperone by suppressing aggregation and maintains the partially unfolded monomers in a folding-competent state, thereby assisting dimerization. Simultaneously, isomerase function of PDI brings about regeneration of native disulfides. 5-Iodoacetamidofluorescein-labeled PDI devoid of isomerase activity failed to enhance the reactivation of dr-API despite its intact chaperone activity. Our results on the requirement of a stoichiometric excess of PDI and of presence of PDI in redox buffer right from the initiation of refolding corroborate that both the functions of PDI are essential for efficient reassociation, refolding, and reactivation of dr-API.  相似文献

Post‐translational limitations in the endoplasmic reticulum during recombinant monoclonal antibody production are an important factor in lowering the capacity for synthesis and secretion of correctly folded proteins. Mammalian protein disulfide isomerase (PDI) has previously been shown to have a role in the formation of disulfide bonds in immunoglobulins. Several attempts have been made to improve the rate of recombinant protein production by overexpressing PDI but the results from these studies have been inconclusive. Here we examine the effect of (a) transiently silencing PDI mRNA and (b) increasing the intracellular levels of members of the PDI family (PDI, ERp72, and PDIp) on the mRNA levels, assembly and secretion of an IgG4 isotype. Although transiently silencing PDI in NS0/2N2 cells suggests that PDI is involved in disulfide bond formation of this subclass of antibody, our results show that PDI does not control the overall IgG4 productivity. Furthermore, overexpression of members of the PDI family in a Chinese hamster ovary (CHO) cell line does not improve productivity and hence we conclude that the catalysis of disulfide bond formation is not rate limiting for IgG4 production.

Escherichia coli alkaline phosphatase (AP) and human lysozyme (h-LYZ), which contain two and four disulfide bonds, respectively, were expressed in a cell-free protein synthesis system constructed from Spodoptera frugiperda 21 (Sf21) cells. AP was expressed in a soluble and active form using the insect cell-free system under non-reducing conditions, and h-LYZ was expressed in a soluble and active form under non-reducing conditions after addition of reduced glutathione (GSH), oxidized glutathione (GSSG), and protein disulfide isomerase (PDI). The in vitro synthesized proteins were purified by means of a Strep-tag attached to their C termini. Approximately 41 microg AP and 30 microg h-LYZ were obtained from 1 mL each of the reaction mixture. The efficiency of protein synthesis approached that measured under reducing conditions. Analysis of the disulfide bond arrangements by MALDI-TOF MS showed that disulfide linkages identical to those observed in the wild-type proteins were formed.  相似文献

The heat shock protein Hsp33 is a very potent molecular chaperone with a distinctive mode of functional regulation; its activity is redox-regulated. In its reduced form all six cysteinyl residues of Hsp33 are present as thiols, and Hsp33 displays no folding helper activity. Exposure of Hsp33 to oxidizing conditions like H(2)O(2), however, rapidly converts Hsp33 into an efficient molecular chaperone. Activated Hsp33 binds tightly to refolding intermediates of chemically denatured luciferase and suppresses efficiently their aggregation in vitro. Matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization-mass spectrometry peptide mapping in combination with in vitro and on target protein chemical modification showed that this activation process of Hsp33 is accompanied by the formation of two intramolecular disulfide bonds within Hsp33: Cys(232)-S-S-Cys(234) and Cys(265)-S-S-Cys(268). Cys(141), although not involved in disulfide bond formation, was found highly reactive toward chemical modifications. In contrast, Cys(239) is readily accessible under reducing conditions but becomes poorly accessible though still reduced when Hsp33 is in its active state. This indicates a significant conformational change during the activation process of Hsp33. Mass spectrometry, thus, unraveled a novel molecular mechanism by which alteration of the disulfide bond structure, as a result of changes in the cellular redox potential, results in the activation of a molecular chaperone.  相似文献

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. Native disulfide bond formation is not trivial, so it is often the rate-limiting step of protein folding both in vivo and in vitro. Complex coordinated systems of molecular chaperones and protein folding catalysts have evolved to help proteins attain their correct folded conformation. This includes a family of enzymes involved in catalyzing thiol-disulfide exchange in the endoplasmic reticulum, the protein disulfide isomerase (PDI) family. There are now 17 reported PDI family members in the endoplasmic reticulum of human cells, but the functional differentiation of these is far from complete. Despite PDI being the first catalyst of protein folding reported, there is much that is still not known about its mechanisms of action. This review will focus on the interactions of the human PDI family members with substrates, including recent research on identifying and characterizing their substrate-binding sites and on determining their natural substrates in vivo.  相似文献

Protein disulfide isomerase (PDI) is the archetypal enzyme involved in the formation and reshuffling of disulfide bonds in the endoplasmic reticulum (ER). PDI achieves its redox function through two highly conserved thioredoxin domains, and PDI can also operate as an ER chaperone. The substrate specificities and the exact functions of most other PDI family proteins remain important unsolved questions in biology. Here, we characterize a new and striking member of the PDI family, which we have named protein disulfide isomerase-like protein of the testis (PDILT). PDILT is the first eukaryotic SXXC protein to be characterized in the ER. Our experiments have unveiled a novel, glycosylated PDI-like protein whose tissue-specific expression and unusual motifs have implications for the evolution, catalytic function, and substrate selection of thioredoxin family proteins. We show that PDILT is an ER resident glycoprotein that liaises with partner proteins in disulfide-dependent complexes within the testis. PDILT interacts with the oxidoreductase Ero1alpha, demonstrating that the N-terminal cysteine of the CXXC sequence is not required for binding of PDI family proteins to ER oxidoreductases. The expression of PDILT, in addition to PDI in the testis, suggests that PDILT performs a specialized chaperone function in testicular cells. PDILT is an unusual PDI relative that highlights the adaptability of chaperone and redox function in enzymes of the endoplasmic reticulum.  相似文献

Protein disulfide isomerase (PDI, EC 5.3.4.1) is a chaperone and catalyzes the formation and rearrangement of disulfide bonds in proteins. Domain c-(463-491), containing 18 acidic residues, is an interesting and important C-terminal extension of PDI. In this study, the PDI mutant abb'a', in which domain c is truncated, was used to investigate the relationship between the C-terminal structure and chaperone function. Reactivation and light-scattering experiments show that both wild-type PDI and abb'a' interact with lactate dehydrogenase (LDH, EC 1.1.1.27), which tends to self-aggregate during reactivation. The interaction enhances reactivation of LDH and reduces aggregation. According to these results, it seems as if domain c might be dispensable to the chaperone function of PDI. However, abb'a' is prone to self-aggregation and causes increased aggregation of LDH during thermal denaturation. In contrast, wild-type PDI remains active as a chaperone under these conditions and prevents self-aggregation of LDH. Furthermore, measurements of intrinsic fluorescence and difference absorbance during denaturation show that abb'a' is much more labile to heat or guanidine hydrochloride denaturation than wild-type PDI. This suggests that domain c is required for the stabilization and maintenance of the chaperone function of PDI under extreme conditions.  相似文献

Protein disulfide isomerase: the structure of oxidative folding   总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1  
Cellular functions hinge on the ability of proteins to adopt their correct folds, and misfolded proteins can lead to disease. Here, we focus on the proteins that catalyze disulfide bond formation, a step in the oxidative folding pathway that takes place in specialized cellular compartments. In the endoplasmic reticulum of eukaryotes, disulfide formation is catalyzed by protein disulfide isomerase (PDI); by contrast, prokaryotes produce a family of disulfide bond (Dsb) proteins, which together achieve an equivalent outcome in the bacterial periplasm. The recent crystal structure of yeast PDI has increased our understanding of the function and mechanism of PDI. Comparison of the structure of yeast PDI with those of bacterial DsbC and DsbG reveals some similarities but also striking differences that suggest directions for future research aimed at unraveling the catalytic mechanism of disulfide bond formation in the cell.  相似文献

The formation of native disulfide bonds is an essential event in the folding and maturation of proteins entering the secretory pathway. For native disulfides to form efficiently an oxidative pathway is required for disulfide bond formation and a reductive pathway is required to ensure isomerization of non-native disulfide bonds. The oxidative pathway involves the oxidation of substrate proteins by PDI, which in turn is oxidized by endoplasmic reticulum oxidase (Ero1). Here we demonstrate that overexpression of Ero1 results in the acceleration of disulfide bond formation and correct protein folding. In contrast, lowering the levels of glutathione within the cell resulted in acceleration of disulfide bond formation but did not lead to correct protein folding. These results demonstrate that lowering the level of glutathione in the cell compromises the reductive pathway and prevents disulfide bond isomerization from occurring efficiently, highlighting the crucial role played by glutathione in native disulfide bond formation within the mammalian endoplasmic reticulum.  相似文献

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). In Prx4-mediated oxidative protein folding we discovered a new reaction that the sulfenic acid form of Prx4 can directly react with thiols in folding substrates, resulting in non-native disulfide cross-linking and aggregation. We also found that PDI can inhibit this reaction by exerting its reductase and chaperone activities. This discovery discloses an off-pathway reaction in the Prx4-mediated oxidative protein folding and the quality control role of PDI.  相似文献

Protein disulfide isomerase (PDI) functions as an isomerase to catalyze thiol:disulfide exchange, as a chaperone to assist protein folding, and as a subunit of prolyl-4-hydroxylase and microsomal triglyceride transfer protein. At a lower concentration of 0.2 microm, PDI facilitated the aggregation of unfolded rabbit muscle creatine kinase (CK) and exhibited anti-chaperone activity, which was shown to be mainly due to the hydrophobic interactions between PDI and CK and was independent of the cross-linking of disulfide bonds. At concentrations above 1 microm, PDI acted as a protector against aggregation but an inhibitor of reactivation during CK refolding. The inhibition effect of PDI on CK reactivation was further characterized as due to the formation of PDI-CK complexes through intermolecular disulfide bonds, a process involving Cys-36 and Cys-295 of PDI. Two disulfide-linked complexes containing both PDI and CK were obtained, and the large, soluble aggregates around 400 kDa were composed of 1 molecule of tetrameric PDI and 2 molecules of inactive intermediate dimeric CK, whereas the smaller one, around 200 kDa, was formed by 1 dimeric PDI and 1 dimeric CK. To our knowledge this is the first study revealing that PDI could switch its conformation from dimer to tetramer in its functions as a foldase. According to the observations in this research and our previous study of the folding pathways of CK, a working model was proposed for the molecular mechanism of CK refolding catalyzed by PDI.  相似文献

Protein disulfide isomerase in redox cell signaling and homeostasis   总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1  
Thiol proteins may potentially act as redox signaling adaptor proteins, adjusting reactive oxygen species intermediates to specific signals and redox signals to cell homeostasis. In this review, we discuss redox effects of protein disulfide isomerase (PDI), a thioredoxin superfamily oxidoreductase from the endoplasmic reticulum (ER). Abundantly expressed PDI displays ubiquity, interactions with redox and nonredox proteins, versatile effects, and several posttranslational modifications. The PDI family contains >20 members with at least some apparent complementary actions. PDI has oxidoreductase, isomerase, and chaperone effects, the last not directly dependent on its thiols. PDI is a converging hub for pathways of disulfide bond introduction into ER-processed proteins, via hydrogen peroxide-generating mechanisms involving the oxidase Ero1α, as well as hydrogen peroxide-consuming reactions involving peroxiredoxin IV and the novel peroxidases Gpx7/8. PDI is a candidate pathway for coupling ER stress to oxidant generation. Emerging information suggests a convergence between PDI and Nox family NADPH oxidases. PDI silencing prevents Nox responses to angiotensin II and inhibits Akt phosphorylation in vascular cells and parasite phagocytosis in macrophages. PDI overexpression spontaneously enhances Nox activation and expression. In neutrophils, PDI redox-dependently associates with p47phox and supports the respiratory burst. At the cell surface, PDI exerts transnitrosation, thiol reductase, and apparent isomerase activities toward targets including adhesion and matrix proteins and proteases. Such effects mediate redox-dependent adhesion, coagulation/thrombosis, immune functions, and virus internalization. The route of PDI externalization remains elusive. Such multiple redox effects of PDI may contribute to its conspicuous expression and functional role in disease, rendering PDI family members putative redox cell signaling adaptors.  相似文献

In cells, only properly folded procollagen trimers are secreted from the endoplasmic reticulum (ER), while improperly folded abnormal procollagens are retained within the ER. Ascorbic acid is a co-factor in procollagen hydroxylation, which in turn is required for trimer formation. We examined chaperone proteins which bound to procollagen in the absence of ascorbic acid, a model which mimics the human disease scurvy at the cellular level. We found that both prolyl 4-hydroxylase (P4-H)/protein disulfide isomerase (PDI) and HSP47 bound to procollagen in the absence of ascorbic acid. However, the binding of PDI to procollagen decreased when HSP47 was co-transfected, suggesting that HSP47 and PDI compete for binding to procollagen. These data indicate that P4-H/PDI and HSP47 have cooperative but distinct chaperone functions during procollagen biosynthesis.  相似文献

Cholera toxin is assembled from two subunits in the periplasm of Vibrio cholerae and disassembled in the analogous compartment of target cells, the lumen of the endoplasmic reticulum (ER), before a fragment of it, the A1 chain, is transported into the cytosol. We show that protein disulfide isomerase (PDI) in the ER lumen functions to disassemble and unfold the toxin once its A chain has been cleaved. PDI acts as a redox-driven chaperone; in the reduced state, it binds to the A chain and in the oxidized state it releases it. Our results explain the pathway of cholera toxin, suggest a role for PDI in retrograde protein transport into the cytosol, and indicate that PDI can act as a novel type of chaperone, whose binding and release of substrates is regulated by a redox, rather than an ATPase, cycle.  相似文献

Renaturation of two enzymes lacking disulfide bonds, citrate synthase (CS), and glyceraldehyde 3-phosphate dehydrogenase (GAPDH) and another protein containing disulfide bonds, lysozyme (LZM), were studied in order to dissect the possible chaperone function from the isomerase function of yeast protein disulfide isomerase (PDI). Our findings suggest no independent chaperone activity of yeast PDI with respect to the two enzymes lacking disulfide bonds, GAPDH and CS, since neither of these enzymes required PDI for renaturation. In contrast, a high level of renaturation of LZM was observed in the presence of PDI. Renaturation of LZM involved formation and rearrangement of disulfide bonds. Additional studies using LZM as a substrate were done to examine the role of cysteine residues in the two active sites of PDI. Studies with a series of cysteine to serine mutants and truncation mutants of yeast PDI revealed that the two active sites of PDI were not equal in activity. An intramolecular disulfide bond in at least one active site of PDI was required for the oxidation of reduced LZM. The first cysteine in each active site was necessary for disulfide bond rearrangement, i.e., isomerization, in LZM, while the second cysteine was not.  相似文献
