Prolyl Isomerases as New Therapeutic Targets
Prolyl isomerases comprise three main protein families totalling over thirty mammalian genes, and several hundred orthologues across the biological domains, with a very broad spectrum of physiological functions and disease implications. Potent small molecule inhibitors exist for members of the three main mammalian families (cyclophilins, FKBPs and parvulins),. but, until recently, these protein...

متن کاملFunctional Differences in Yeast Protein Disulfide Isomerases
PDI1 is the essential gene encoding protein disulfide isomerase in yeast. The Saccharomyces cerevisiae genome, however, contains four other nonessential genes with homology to PDI1: MPD1, MPD2, EUG1, and EPS1. We have investigated the effects of simultaneous deletions of these genes. In several cases, we found that the ability of the PDI1 homologues to restore viability to a pdi1-deleted strain...
متن کاملIMMUNOBIOLOGY Protein disulfide isomerases are antibody targets during immune-mediated tumor destruction
The identification of cancer antigens that contribute to transformation and are linked with immune-mediated tumor destruction is an important goal for immunotherapy. Toward this end, we screened a murine renal cell carcinoma cDNAexpression library with sera from mice vaccinated with irradiated tumor cells engineered to secrete granulocyte macrophage colony-stimulating factor (GM-CSF). Multiple ...
متن کاملEvolutionarily Conserved Protein Sequences of Influenza A Viruses, Avian and Human, as Vaccine Targets
BACKGROUND Influenza A viruses generate an extreme genetic diversity through point mutation and gene segment exchange, resulting in many new strains that emerge from the animal reservoirs, among which was the recent highly pathogenic H5N1 virus. This genetic diversity also endows these viruses with a dynamic adaptability to their habitats, one result being the rapid selection of genomic variant...
