Protein folding guides disulfide bond formation.
The Anfinsen principle that the protein sequence uniquely determines its structure is based on experiments on oxidative refolding of a protein with disulfide bonds. The problem of how protein folding drives disulfide bond formation is poorly understood. Here, we have solved this long-standing problem by creating a general method for implementing the chemistry of disulfide bond formation and rup...
متن کاملProtein Folding Drives Disulfide Formation
PDI catalyzes the oxidative folding of disulfide-containing proteins. However, the sequence of reactions leading to a natively folded and oxidized protein remains unknown. Here we demonstrate a technique that enables independent measurements of disulfide formation and protein folding. We find that non-native disulfides are formed early in the folding pathway and can trigger misfolding. In contr...
متن کاملDisulfide bond formation during the folding of influenza virus hemagglutinin
To study the importance of individual sulfhydryl residues during the folding and assembly in vivo of influenza virus hemagglutinin (HA), we have constructed and expressed a series of mutant HA proteins in which cysteines involved in three disulfide bonds have been substituted by serine residues. Investigations of the structure and intracellular transport of the mutant proteins indicate that (a)...
متن کاملComplete pathway for protein disulfide bond formation encoded by poxviruses.
We show that three cytoplasmic thiol oxidoreductases encoded by vaccinia virus comprise a complete pathway for formation of disulfide bonds in intracellular virion membrane proteins. The pathway was defined by analyzing conditional lethal mutants and effects of cysteine to serine substitutions and by trapping disulfide-bonded heterodimer intermediates for each consecutive step. The upstream com...
متن کاملProtein cross-linking by self-assisted intermolecular disulfide bond formation.
Storage of proteins is a physiological means to provide a reservoir for regulated utilization by the organism. Examples are the intracellular storage of exportable proteins in secretion granules, e.g., in exocrine glands, and the extracellular deposition of secretory proteins, e.g., of thyroglobulin (TG) in the lumina of thyroid follicles. In all cases, tight packaging of protein molecules is o...
