Báo cáo khoa học: Solution structure of the bb¢ domains of human protein disulfide isomerase

Protein disulfide isomerase is the most abundant and best studied of the disulfide isomerases that catalyze disulfide bond formation in the endoplas-mic reticulum, yet the specifics of how it binds substrate have been elusive. Protein disulfide isomerase is composed of four thioredoxin-like domains (abb¢a¢). | Solution structure of the bb domains of human protein disulfide isomerase Alexey Y.

Protein disulfide isomerase is composed of four thioredoxin-like domains abb a . Cross-linking studies with radiolabeled peptides and unfolded proteins have shown that it binds incompletely folded proteins primarily via its third domain b . Here we determined the solution structure of the second and third domains of human protein disulfide isomerase b and b respectively by triple-resonance NMR spectroscopy and molecular modeling. NMR titrations identified a large hydrophobic surface within the b domain that binds unfolded ribonuclease A and the peptides mastoparan and somatostatin. Protein disulfide isomerase-catalyzed refolding of reduced ribonuclease A in vitro was inhibited by these peptides at concentrations equal to their affinity to the bb fragment. Our findings provide a structural basis for previous kinetic and cross-linking studies which have shown that protein disulfide isomerase exhibits a saturable substratebinding site. doi 10.1111 j.1742-4658.2009.06884.x The endoplasmic reticulum ER is the cell compartment where .
