Microbial peptidyl-prolyl cis/trans isomerases (PPIases): virulence factors and potential alternative drug targets.
Initially discovered in the context of immunomodulation, peptidyl-prolyl cis/trans isomerases (PPIases) were soon identified as enzymes catalyzing the rate-limiting protein folding step at peptidyl bonds preceding proline residues. Intense searches revealed that PPIases are a superfamily of proteins consisting of three structurally distinguishable families with representatives in every describe...
متن کاملPeptidyl-prolyl cis/trans isomerases and transcription: is there a twist in the tail?
Eukaryotic transcription is regulated predominantly by the post-translational modification of the participating components. One such modification is the cis-trans isomerization of peptidyl-prolyl bonds, which results in a conformational change in the protein involved. Enzymes that carry out this reaction include the yeast peptidyl-prolyl cis/trans isomerase Ess1 and its human counterpart Pin1, ...
متن کاملInsights into the catalytic mechanism of peptidyl prolyl cis/trans isomerases.
A large body of physiological, cell biological, kinetic and structural data about peptidyl prolyl cis/trans isomerases (PPIases) has been accumulated during the past 20 years, but despite the simplicity of the catalyzed reaction the question of how the enzyme action is performed is still not fully answered. In this review the center of attention is the molecular background of the catalytic mech...
متن کاملDetermination of kinetic constants for peptidyl prolyl cis-trans isomerases by an improved spectrophotometric assay.
The kinetic properties and substrate specificity of two well-characterized peptidyl prolyl cis-trans isomerases (PPIases), cyclophilin and the FK-506 binding protein (FKBP), have been previously examined [Fischer, G., Bang, H., Berger, E., & Schellenberger, A. (1984) Biochim. Biophys. Acta 791, 87-97; Harrison, R.K., & Stein, R.L. (1990) Biochemistry 29, 1684-1689; Albers, M.W., Walsh, C.T., & ...
متن کاملPeptidyl-prolyl isomerases: functionality and potential therapeutic targets in cardiovascular disease.
Peptidyl-prolyl cis/trans isomerases (PPIases) are a conserved group of enzymes that catalyse the conversion between cis and trans conformations of proline imidic peptide bonds. These enzymes play critical roles in regulatory mechanisms of cellular function and pathophysiology of disease. There are three different classes of PPIases and increasing interest in the development of specific PPIase ...
