Structural and Biochemical Characterization of the Human Cyclophilin Family of Peptidyl-Prolyl Isomerases

Peptidyl-prolyl isomerases catalyze the conversion between cis and trans isomers of proline. The cyclophilin family of peptidyl-prolyl isomerases is well known for being the target of the immunosuppressive drug cyclosporin, used to combat organ transplant rejection. There is great interest in both the substrate specificity of these enzymes and the design of isoform-selective ligands for them. H...

Preliminary characterization of a cloned neutral isoelectric form of the human peptidyl prolyl isomerase cyclophilin.

We report the cloning of a neutral isoelectric form of the human peptidyl prolyl isomerase, cyclophilin, its expression in Escherichia coli, and its purification and comparison to bovine thymus cyclophilin. The cloned protein exhibited a pI of approximately 7.8 and formed a simple 1:1 complex with cyclosporin A. This cloned form had a pI similar to that observed for the neutral isoform (pI appr...

Immunophilins and parvulins. Superfamily of peptidyl prolyl isomerases in Arabidopsis.

Immunophilins are defined as receptors for immunosuppressive drugs including cyclosporin A, FK506, and rapamycin. The cyclosporin A receptors are referred to as cyclophilins (CYPs) and FK506- and rapamycin-binding proteins are abbreviated as FKBPs. These two groups of proteins (collectively called immunophilins) share little sequence homology, but both have peptidyl prolyl cis/trans isomerase (...

Peptidyl-prolyl isomerases: a new twist to transcription.

Peptidyl-prolyl isomerases (PPIs) catalyse the cis-trans isomerisation of peptide bonds N-terminal to proline residues in polypeptide chains. They have roles in the folding of newly synthesised proteins and in the function of the immune system. In addition, members of the parvulin-like family of PPIs have been implicated in cell cycle control. Their activity is directed by the prior phosphoryla...

Human cyclophilin B: a second cyclophilin gene encodes a peptidyl-prolyl isomerase with a signal sequence.

We report the cloning and characterization of a cDNA encoding a second human cyclosporin A-binding protein (hCyPB). Homology analyses reveal that hCyPB is a member of the cyclophilin B (CyPB) family, which includes yeast CyPB, Drosophila nina A, and rat cyclophilin-like protein. This family is distinguished from the cyclophilin A (CyPA) family by the presence of endoplasmic reticulum (ER)-direc...
