ERp57 is a multifunctional thiol-disulfide oxidoreductase.
The thiol-disulfide oxidoreductase ERp57 is a soluble protein of the endoplasmic reticulum and the closest known homologue of protein disulfide isomerase. The protein interacts with the two lectin chaperones calnexin and calreticulin and thereby promotes the oxidative folding of newly synthesized glycoproteins. Here we have characterized several fundamental structural and functional properties ...
متن کاملA thiol-disulfide transhydrogenase from yeast.
An enzyme is described which, when coupled with glutathione reductase, catalyzes a thiol-disulfide interchange between glutathione and a number of disulfide substrates of low molecular weight. The most purified preparation is homogeneous on the basis of the disc gel electrophoresis test. From its behavior on a column of Sephadex G-75, the enzyme appears to have a molecular weight of about 15,00...
متن کاملQuantifying the global cellular thiol-disulfide status.
It is widely accepted that the redox status of protein thiols is of central importance to protein structure and folding and that glutathione is an important low-molecular-mass redox regulator. However, the total cellular pools of thiols and disulfides and their relative abundance have never been determined. In this study, we have assembled a global picture of the cellular thiol-disulfide status...
متن کاملThiol/disulfide homeostasis in patients with ankylosing spondylitis.
Ankylosing spondylitis (AS) is a chronic inflammatory disease. In many inflammatory diseases, increased production of pro-inflammatory cytokines is associated with an increase in oxidative stress mediators. Thiol/disulfide homeostasis is a marker for oxidative stress. The aim of this study was to examine the dynamic thiol/disulfide homeostasis in AS. Sixty-nine patients with AS and 60 age- and ...
متن کاملMeasuring the poise of thiol/disulfide couples in vivo.
The reduction potentials (E(h)) for the redox couples GSH/GSSG and cysteine/cystine (Cys/CySS) in plasma are useful indicators of systemic oxidative stress and other medically relevant physiological states. This article describes a sensitive method for determining plasma levels of GSH, GSSG, Cys, and CySS used to calculate the in vivo E(h) values. The method uses iodoacetate to alkylate free th...
