Disulfide bond isomerization in prokaryotes.
نویسندگان
چکیده
Proteins with multiple cysteine residues often require disulfide isomerization reactions before they attain their correct conformation. In prokaryotes this reaction is catalyzed mainly by DsbC, a protein that shares many similarities in structure and mechanism to the eukaryotic protein disulfide isomerase. This review discusses the current knowledge about disulfide isomerization in prokaryotes.

Catalysis of disulfide bond formation and isomerization in the Escherichia coli periplasm.
Disulfide bond formation is a catalyzed process in vivo. In prokaryotes, the oxidation of cysteine pairs is achieved by the transfer of disulfides from the highly oxidizing DsbA/DsbB catalytic machinery to substrate proteins. The oxidizing power utilized by this system comes from the membrane-embedded electron transport system, which utilizes molecular oxygen as a final oxidant. Proofreading of...
متن کاملCatalysis of protein disulfide bond isomerization in a homogeneous substrate.
Protein disulfide isomerase (PDI) catalyzes the rearrangement of nonnative disulfide bonds in the endoplasmic reticulum of eukaryotic cells, a process that often limits the rate at which polypeptide chains fold into a native protein conformation. The mechanism of the reaction catalyzed by PDI is unclear. In assays involving protein substrates, the reaction appears to involve the complete reduct...
متن کاملSmall-molecule Catalysis of Native Disulfide Bond Formation in Proteins
Native disulfide bond formation is essential for the folding of many proteins. The enzyme protein disulfide isomerase (POI) catalyzes native disulfide bond formation using a Cys-Gly-HisCys active site. The active-site properties of POI (thiol pK. = 6.7 and disulfide E;O' = -180 mY) are critical for efficient catalysis. This Dissertation describes the design, synthesis, and characterization of s...
متن کاملMicroreview Oxidative Protein Folding in Bacteria
In eukaryotes, disulphide bond formation and isomerization is catalysed in the endoplasmic reticulum by protein disulphide isomerase (PDI) and related proteins. Although this eukaryotic system has been intensely studied for almost 40 years, many questions remain unanswered. In 1991, it was discovered that disulphide bond formation in the prokaryotic periplasm is also a catalysed process (Bardwe...
متن کاملKinetic analyses of the surface-transmembrane disulfide bond isomerization-controlled fusion activation pathway in Moloney murine leukemia virus.
The surface (SU) and transmembrane (TM) subunits of Moloney murine leukemia virus (Mo-MLV) Env are disulfide linked. The linking cysteine in SU is part of a conserved CXXC motif in which the other cysteine carries a free thiol. Recently, we showed that receptor binding activates its free thiol to isomerize the intersubunit disulfide bond into a disulfide within the motif instead (M. Wallin, M. ...
