Abstract
SIGNIFICANCE Disturbance of glutathione (GSH) metabolism is a hallmark of numerous diseases, yet GSH functions are poorly understood. One key to this question is to consider its functional compartmentation. GSH is present in the endoplasmic reticulum (ER), where it competes with substrates for oxidation by the oxidative folding machinery, composed in eukaryotes of the thiol oxidase Ero1 and proteins from the disulfide isomerase family (protein disulfide isomerase). Yet, whether GSH is required for proper ER oxidative protein folding is a highly debated question. Recent Advances: Oxidative protein folding has been thoroughly dissected over the past decades, and its actors and their mode of action elucidated. Genetically encoded GSH probes have recently provided an access to subcellular redox metabolism, including the ER. CRITICAL ISSUES Of the few often-contradictory models of the role of GSH in the ER, the most popular suggest it serves as reducing power. Yet, as a reductant, GSH also activates Ero1, which questions how GSH can nevertheless support protein reduction. Hence, whether GSH operates in the ER as a reductant, an oxidant, or just as a "blank" compound mirroring ER/periplasm redox activity is a highly debated question, which is further stimulated by the puzzling occurrence of GSH in the Escherichia coli periplasmic "secretory" compartment, aside from the Dsb thiol-reducing and oxidase pathways. FUTURE DIRECTIONS Addressing the mechanisms controlling GSH traffic in and out of the ER/periplasm and its recycling will help address GSH function in secretion. In addition, as thioredoxin reductase was recently implicated in ER oxidative protein folding, the relative contribution of each of these two reducing pathways should now be addressed. Antioxid. Redox Signal. 27, 1178-1199.

Abstract
The formation of disulfide bonds in the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) of eukaryotic cells is catalyzed by the sulfhydryl oxidase, ER oxidoreductin 1 (Ero1), and protein-disulfide isomerase (PDI). PDI is oxidized by Ero1 to continuously introduce disulfides into substrates, and feedback regulates Ero1 activity by manipulating the regulatory disulfides of Ero1. In this study we find that yeast Ero1p is enzymatically active even with its regulatory disulfides intact, and further activation of Ero1p by reduction of the regulatory disulfides requires the reduction of non-catalytic Cys(90)-Cys(97)disulfide in Pdi1p. The principal client-binding site in the Pdi1pb' domain is necessary not only for the functional Ero1p-Pdi1p disulfide relay but also for the activation of Ero1p. We also demonstrate by complementary activation assays that the regulatory disulfides in Ero1p are much more stable than those in human Ero1α. These new findings on yeast Ero1p-Pdi1p interplay reveal significant differences from our previously identified mode of human Ero1α-PDI interplay and provide insights into the evolution of the eukaryotic oxidative protein folding pathway.

Analysis of naphthalene adduct binding sites in model proteins by tandem mass spectrometry. Chem Biol Interact 2012; 199:120-8.

Abstract
The electrophilic metabolites of the polyaromatic hydrocarbon naphthalene have been shown to bind covalently to proteins and covalent adduct formation correlates with the cytotoxic effects of the chemical in the respiratory system. Although 1,2-naphthalene epoxide, naphthalene diol epoxide, 1,2-naphthoquinone, and 1,4-napthoquinone have been identified as reactive metabolites of interest, the role of each metabolite in total covalent protein adduction and subsequent cytotoxicity remains to be established. To better understand the target residues associated with the reaction of these metabolites with proteins, mass spectrometry was used to identify adducted residues following (1) incubation of metabolites with actin and protein disulfide isomerase (PDI), and (2) activation of naphthalene in microsomal incubations containing supplemental actin or PDI. All four reactive metabolites bound to Cys, Lys or His residues in actin and PDI. Cys₁₇ of actin was the only residue adducted by all metabolites; there was substantial metabolite selectivity for the majority of adducted residues. Modifications of actin and PDI, following microsomal incubations containing ¹⁴C-naphthalene, were detected readily by 2D gel electrophoresis and phosphor imaging. However, target modifications on tryptic peptides from these isolated proteins could not be readily detected by MALDI/TOF/TOF and only three modified peptides were detected using high resolution-selective ion monitoring (HR-SIM). All the reactive metabolites investigated have the potential to modify several residues in a single protein, but even in tissues with very high rates of naphthalene activation, the extent of modification was too low to allow unambiguous identification of a significant number of modified residues in the isolated proteins.

Abstract
The flavoprotein quiescin-sulfhydryl oxidase (QSOX) rapidly inserts disulfide bonds into unfolded, reduced proteins with the concomitant reduction of oxygen to hydrogen peroxide. This study reports the first heterologous expression and enzymological characterization of a human QSOX1 isoform. Like QSOX isolated from avian egg white, recombinant HsQSOX1 is highly active toward reduced ribonuclease A (RNase) and dithiothreitol but shows a >100-fold lower k cat/ K m for reduced glutathione. Previous studies on avian QSOX led to a model in which reducing equivalents were proposed to relay through the enzyme from the first thioredoxin domain (C70-C73) to a distal disulfide (C509-C512), then across the dimer interface to the FAD-proximal disulfide (C449-C452), and finally to the FAD. The present work shows that, unlike the native avian enzyme, HsQSOX1 is monomeric. The recombinant expression system enabled construction of the first cysteine mutants for mechanistic dissection of this enzyme family. Activity assays with mutant HsQSOX1 indicated that the conserved distal C509-C512 disulfide is dispensable for the oxidation of reduced RNase or dithiothreitol. The four other cysteine residues chosen for mutagenesis, C70, C73, C449, and C452, are all crucial for efficient oxidation of reduced RNase. C452, of the proximal disulfide, is shown to be the charge-transfer donor to the flavin ring of QSOX, and its partner, C449, is expected to be the interchange thiol, forming a mixed disulfide with C70 in the thioredoxin domain. These data demonstrate that all the internal redox steps occur within the same polypeptide chain of mammalian QSOX and commence with a direct interaction between the reduced thioredoxin domain and the proximal disulfide of the Erv/ALR domain.

Abstract
Although Candida albicans and Saccharomyces cerevisiae express very similar systems of iron uptake, these species differ in their capacity to use heme as a nutritional iron source. Whereas C. albicans efficiently takes up heme, S. cerevisiae grows poorly on media containing heme as the sole source of iron. We identified a gene from C. albicans that would enhance heme uptake when expressed in S. cerevisiae. Overexpression of CaFLC1 (for flavin carrier 1) stimulated the growth of S. cerevisiae on media containing heme iron. In C. albicans, deletion of both alleles of CaFLC1 resulted in a decrease in heme uptake activity, whereas overexpression of CaFLC1 resulted in an increase in heme uptake. The S. cerevisiae genome contains three genes with homology to CaFLC1, and two of these, termed FLC1 and FLC2, also stimulated growth on heme when overexpressed in S. cerevisiae. The S. cerevisiae Flc proteins were detected in the endoplasmic reticulum and the FLC genes encoded an essential function, as strains deleted for either FLC1 or FLC2 were viable, but deletion of both FLC1 and FLC2 was synthetically lethal. FLC gene deletion resulted in pleiotropic phenotypes related to defects in cell wall integrity. High copy suppressors of this synthetic lethality included three mannosyltransferases, VAN1, KTR4, and HOC1. FLC deletion strains exhibited loss of cell wall mannose phosphates, defects in cell wall assembly, and delayed maturation of carboxypeptidase Y. Permeabilized cells lacking FLC proteins exhibited dramatic loss of FAD import activity. We propose that the FLC genes are required for import of FAD into the lumen of the endoplasmic reticulum, where it is required for disulfide bond formation.

Abstract
Protein-disulfide isomerase (PDI) is an essential catalyst of disulfide formation and isomerization in the eukaryotic endoplasmic reticulum. PDI has two active sites at either end of the molecule, each containing two cysteines that facilitate thiol-disulfide exchange. In addition to its four catalytic cysteines, PDI possesses two non-active site cysteines whose location and separation distance varies by organism. In higher eukaryotes, the non-active site cysteines are located in the C-terminal half of the protein sequence and are separated by 30 amino acids. In contrast, the internal cysteines of PDI from lower eukaryotes are located near the N-terminal active site and are much closer together in sequence. The function of these cysteines and the significance of their unique location in yeast PDI have been unclear. Previous data (Xiao, R., Wilkinson, B., Solovyov, A., Winther, J. R., Holmgren, A., Lundstrom-Ljung, J., and Gilbert, H. F. (2004) J. Biol. Chem. 279, 49780-49786) suggest that the internal cysteines exist as a disulfide in the endoplasmic reticulum of Saccharomyces cerevisiae. By coupling mass spectrometry with a gel-shift technique that allows us to measure the redox potentials of the PDI active sites in the presence and absence of the non-active site cysteines, we find that the non-active site cysteines form a disulfide that is stable even in a very reducing environment and demonstrate that this disulfide exists to destabilize the N-terminal active site disulfide, making it a better oxidant by 18-fold. Consistent with this finding, we show that mutating the non-active site cysteines to alanines disrupts both the oxidase and isomerase activities of PDI in vitro.

Abstract
When glycoproteins formed in the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) are misfolded, they are generally translocated into the cytosol for ubiquitination and are subsequently degraded by the proteasome. This system, the so-called ER-associated glycoprotein degradation, is important for eukaryotes to maintain the quality of glycoproteins generated in the ER. It has been established in yeast that several distinct proteins are involved in this translocation and degradation processes. Small glycopeptides formed in the ER are exported to the cytosol in a similar manner. This glycopeptide export system is conserved from yeast to mammalian cells, suggesting its basic biological significance for eukaryotic cells. These two export systems (for misfolded glycoproteins and glycopeptides) share some properties, such as a requirement for ATP and involvement of Sec61p, a central membrane protein presumably forming a dislocon channel for export of proteins. However, the machinery of glycopeptide export is poorly understood. In this study, various mutants known to have an effect on export/degradation of misfolded glycoproteins were examined for glycopeptide export activity with a newly established assay method. Surprisingly, most of the mutants were found not to exhibit a defect in glycopeptide export. The only gene that was found to be required on efficient export of both types of substrates was PMR1, the gene encoding the medial-Golgi Ca(2+)/Mn(2+)-ion pump. These results provide evidence that although the systems involved in export of misfolded glycoproteins and glycopeptides share some properties, they have exhibited distinct differences.

Abstract
Renaturation of two enzymes lacking disulfide bonds, citrate synthase (CS), and glyceraldehyde 3-phosphate dehydrogenase (GAPDH) and another protein containing disulfide bonds, lysozyme (LZM), were studied in order to dissect the possible chaperone function from the isomerase function of yeast protein disulfide isomerase (PDI). Our findings suggest no independent chaperone activity of yeast PDI with respect to the two enzymes lacking disulfide bonds, GAPDH and CS, since neither of these enzymes required PDI for renaturation. In contrast, a high level of renaturation of LZM was observed in the presence of PDI. Renaturation of LZM involved formation and rearrangement of disulfide bonds. Additional studies using LZM as a substrate were done to examine the role of cysteine residues in the two active sites of PDI. Studies with a series of cysteine to serine mutants and truncation mutants of yeast PDI revealed that the two active sites of PDI were not equal in activity. An intramolecular disulfide bond in at least one active site of PDI was required for the oxidation of reduced LZM. The first cysteine in each active site was necessary for disulfide bond rearrangement, i.e., isomerization, in LZM, while the second cysteine was not.

Abstract
Protein disulfide isomerase (PDI) interacts with secretory proteins, irrespective of their thiol content, late during translocation into the ER; thus, PDI may be part of the quality control machinery in the ER. We used yeast pdi1 mutants with deletions in the putative peptide binding region of the molecule to investigate its role in the recognition of misfolded secretory proteins in the ER and their export to the cytosol for degradation. Our pdi1 deletion mutants are deficient in the export of a misfolded cysteine-free secretory protein across the ER membrane to the cytosol for degradation, but ER-to-Golgi complex transport of properly folded secretory proteins is only marginally affected. We demonstrate by chemical cross-linking that PDI specifically interacts with the misfolded secretory protein and that mutant forms of PDI have a lower affinity for this protein. In the ER of the pdi1 mutants, a higher proportion of the misfolded secretory protein remains associated with BiP, and in export-deficient sec61 mutants, the misfolded secretory protein remain bounds to PDI. We conclude that the chaperone PDI is part of the quality control machinery in the ER that recognizes terminally misfolded secretory proteins and targets them to the export channel in the ER membrane.
