Protein disulfide bond formation in the cytoplasm during oxidative stress.
The majority of disulfide-linked cytosolic proteins are thought to be enzymes that transiently form disulfide bonds while catalyzing oxidation-reduction (redox) processes. Recent evidence indicates that reactive oxygen species can act as signaling molecules by promoting the formation of disulfide bonds within or between select redox-sensitive proteins. However, few studies have attempted to exa...
متن کاملSoluble Expression of Disulfide Bond Containing Proteins FGF15 and FGF19 in the Cytoplasm of Escherichia coli
Fibroblast growth factor 19 (FGF19) is the human ortholog of mouse FGF15, and both proteins function as an endocrine signal to regulate various liver functions. FGF15/FGF19 protein contains two disulfide bonds. It is unfavorable to form disulfide bonds in Escherichia coli (E. coli) cytoplasm because of the bacterial cytoplasmic reducing environment. Modification of the cytoplasmic reducing envi...
متن کاملThe interplay between the disulfide bond formation pathway and cytochrome c maturation in Escherichia coli
Heme attachment to c-type cytochromes in bacteria requires cysteine thiols in the CXXCH motif of the protein. The involvement of the periplasmic disulfide generation system in this process remains unclear. We undertake a systematic evaluation of the role of DsbA and DsbD in cytochrome c biogenesis in Escherichia coli and show unequivocally that DsbA is not essential for holocytochrome productio...
متن کاملCatalysis 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 کاملDisruption of reducing pathways is not essential for efficient disulfide bond formation in the cytoplasm of E. coli
BACKGROUND The formation of native disulfide bonds is a complex and essential post-translational modification for many proteins. The large scale production of these proteins can be difficult and depends on targeting the protein to a compartment in which disulfide bond formation naturally occurs, usually the endoplasmic reticulum of eukaryotes or the periplasm of prokaryotes. It is currently tho...
