Abstract
Disulfide bonds are among the most important factors related to correct folding of the proteins. Protein disulfide isomerase (PDI) is the enzyme responsible for the correct formation and isomerization of these bonds. It is rarely studied so far and none of them showed industrial properties. In this study, the gene encoding for a putative PDI from Bacillus subtilis DR8806 was identified, cloned and expressed in Escherichia coli. It was encoded a 23.26kDa protein. The enzyme was purified by GST affinity chromatography with a specific activity of 1227u/mg. It was active and stable over a wide range of temperature (20-85°C) and pH (4.5-10) with an optimum at 65°C and pH 5.5. Its activity was enhanced by Mn2+ and Co2+ while Ag+ and Zn2+ decreased it. Some of the known PDI inhibitors such as Tocinoic acid and Bactiracin did not affect its activity. In-silico analysis shows the five amino acids changes in the protein sequence regarding to the consensus sequence of PDIs, have a positive impact toward the protein thermal stability. This was further confirmed by molecular dynamics simulations. By considering the overall results, the enzyme might be a potential candidate for applications in the respective industries.

Abstract
Protein disulfide isomerase (PDI) is a major protein in the endoplasmic reticulum, operating as an essential folding catalyst and molecular chaperone for disulfide-containing proteins by catalyzing the formation, rearrangement, and breakage of their disulfide bridges. This enzyme has a modular structure with four thioredoxin-like domains, a, b, b', and a', along with a C-terminal extension. The homologous a and a' domains contain one cysteine pair in their active site directly involved in thiol-disulfide exchange reactions, while the b' domain putatively provides a primary binding site for unstructured regions of the substrate polypeptides. Here, we report a redox-dependent intramolecular rearrangement of the b' and a' domains of PDI from Humicola insolens, a thermophilic fungus, elucidated by combined use of nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) and small-angle X-ray scattering (SAXS) methods. Our NMR data showed that the substrates bound to a hydrophobic surface spanning these two domains, which became more exposed to the solvent upon oxidation of the active site of the a' domain. The hydrogen-deuterium exchange and relaxation data indicated that the redox state of the a' domain influences the dynamic properties of the b' domain. Moreover, the SAXS profiles revealed that oxidation of the a' active site causes segregation of the two domains. On the basis of these data, we propose a mechanistic model of PDI action; the a' domain transfers its own disulfide bond into the unfolded protein accommodated on the hydrophobic surface of the substrate-binding region, which consequently changes into a "closed" form releasing the oxidized substrate.

Abstract
When the oxidative refolding of lysozyme (Lyzm) was carried out in the presence of protein disulfide isomerase (PDI) an increased refolding rate and a recovered activity exceeding 100% were reproducibly observed. The origin of this excess activity was investigated by HPLC, SDS-PAGE, and mass spectrometry and assessed using an assay for Lyzm activity. The refolding of Lyzm was achieved through the formation of PDI-Lyzm intermediates and the excess activity was derived from the nascent lysozyme released from these complexes. The released lysozyme exhibited a higher molecular activity than observed for the native protein.

Abstract
Periodontitis is an inflammatory disease initiated by host-parasite interactions which contributes to connective tissue destruction and alveolar bone resorption. Porphyromonas gingivalis (P.g.), a black-pigmented Gram-negative anaerobic bacterium, is a major pathogen in the development and progression of periodontitis. To characterize the role that P. gingivalis and its cell surface components play in disease processes, we investigated the differential expression of proteins induced by live P.g., P.g. LPS, and P.g. FimA, using two-dimensional gel electrophoresis in combination with mass spectrometry. We have tested whether, at the level of protein expression, unique signaling pathways are differentially induced by the bacterial components P.g. LPS and P.g. FimA, as compared to live P.g. We found that P.g. LPS stimulation of THP-1 up-regulated the expression of a set of proteins compared to control: deoxyribonuclease, actin, carbonic anhydrase 2, alpha enolase, adenylyl cyclase-associated protein (CAP1), protein disulfide isomerase (PDI), glucose regulated protein (grp78), and 70-kDa heat shock protein (HSP70), whereas FimA treatment did not result in statistically significant changes to protein levels versus the control. Live P.g. stimulation resulted in 12 differentially expressed proteins: CAP1, tubulin beta-2 chain, ATP synthase beta chain, tubulin alpha-6 chain, PDI, vimentin, 60-kDa heat shock protein, and nucleolin were found to be up-regulated, while carbonic anhydrase II, beta-actin, and HSP70 were down-regulated relative to control. These differential changes by the bacteria and its components are interpreted as preferential signal pathway activation in host immune/inflammatory responses to P.g. infection.

Abstract
Diselenide bonds are intrinsically more stable than disulfide bonds. To examine how this stability difference affects reactivity, we synthesized selenoglutathione (GSeSeG), an analogue of the oxidized form of the tripeptide glutathione that contains a diselenide bond in place of the natural disulfide. The reduction potential of this diselenide bond was determined to be -407 +/- 9 mV, a value which is 151 mV lower than that of the disulfide bond in glutathione (GSSG). Thus, the diselenide bond of GSeSeG is 7 kcal/mol more stable than the disulfide bond of GSSG. Nonetheless, we found that GSeSeG can be used to oxidize cysteine residues in unfolded proteins, a process that is driven by the gain in protein conformational stability upon folding. Indeed, the folding of both ribonuclease A (RNase A) and bovine pancreatic trypsin inhibitor (BPTI) proceeded efficiently using GSeSeG as an oxidant, in the former case with a 2-fold rate increase relative to GSSG and in the latter case accelerating conversion of a stable folding intermediate to the native state. In addition, GSeSeG can also oxidize the common biological cofactor NADPH and is a good substrate for the NADPH-dependent enzyme glutathione reductase (kcat = 69 +/- 2 s-1, Km = 54 +/- 7 microM), suggesting that diselenides can efficiently interact with the cellular redox machinery. Surprisingly, the greater thermodynamic stability of diselenide bonds relative to disulfide bonds is not matched by a corresponding decrease in reactivity.

Abstract
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 reduction of some or all of its nonnative disulfide bonds followed by oxidation of the resulting dithiols. The substrates in these assays are, however, heterogeneous, which complicates mechanistic analyses. Here, we report the first analysis of disulfide bond isomerization in a homogeneous substrate. Our substrate is based on tachyplesin I, a 17-mer peptide that folds into a beta hairpin stabilized by two disulfide bonds. We describe the chemical synthesis of a variant of tachyplesin I in which its two disulfide bonds are in a nonnative state and side chains near its N and C terminus contain a fluorescence donor (tryptophan) and acceptor (N(epsilon)-dansyllysine). Fluorescence resonance energy transfer from 280 to 465 nm increases by 28-fold upon isomerization of the disulfide bonds into their native state (which has a lower E(o') = -0.313 V than does PDI). We use this continuous assay to analyze catalysis by wild-type human PDI and a variant in which the C-terminal cysteine residue within each Cys-Gly-His-Cys active site is replaced with alanine. We find that wild-type PDI catalyzes the isomerization of the substrate with kcat/K(M) = 1.7 x 10(5) M(-1) s(-1), which is the largest value yet reported for catalysis of disulfide bond isomerization. The variant, which is a poor catalyst of disulfide bond reduction and dithiol oxidation, retains virtually all of the activity of wild-type PDI in catalysis of disulfide bond isomerization. Thus, the C-terminal cysteine residues play an insignificant role in the isomerization of the disulfide bonds in nonnative tachyplesin I. We conclude that catalysis of disulfide bond isomerization by PDI does not necessarily involve a cycle of substrate reduction/oxidation.

Abstract
Disulfide bond formation in the refolding of thermophilic fungal protein disulfide isomerase (PDI) was investigated. It was revealed that (i) a disulfide bond buried inside the molecule is preferentially formed and contributes to the thermal stability and the isomerizing power of PDI, and (ii) formation of disulfide bonds in active sites located on the molecular surface causes deformation of the optimum conformation resulting in a decrease in the thermal stability.

Abstract
The hepatotoxicity of bromobenzene is strongly correlated with the covalent binding of chemically reactive metabolites to cellular proteins, but up to now relatively few hepatic protein targets of these reactive metabolites have been identified. To identify additional hepatic protein targets we injected an hepatotoxic dose of [14C]bromobenzene to phenobarbital-pretreated male Sprague-Dawley rats ip. After 4 h, their livers were removed and homogenized, and the homogenates fractionated by differential ultracentrifugation. The highest specific radiolabeling (6.1 nmol equiv 14C/mg of protein) was observed in a particulate fraction (P25) sedimented at 25000g from a 6000g supernatant fraction. Proteins in this fraction were separated by two-dimensional electrophoresis and, after transblotting, analyzed for radioactivity by phosphorimaging. More than 20 radiolabeled protein spots were observed in the blots. For 17 of these spots, peptide mass maps were obtained using in-gel digestion with trypsin, followed by MALDI-TOF mass spectrometric analysis of the resulting peptide mixtures. By searching genomic databases, the 17 sets of MS-derived peptide masses were found to match predicted tryptic fragments of just 7 proteins. Spots 1-4 matched with 78 kDa glucose regulated protein (GRP78), protein disulfide isomerase isozyme A1 (PDIA1), endoplasmic reticulum protein ERp29, and PDIA6, respectively. Spots 5 and 6, 7-11, and 12-17 presented as apparent "charge trains" of spots, each of which gave peptide mixtures closely similar to those of other spots within the train. The proteins present in these sets of spots were identified as transthyretin, serum albumin precursor and PDIA3, respectively. The possible relationship of the adduction of these proteins to the toxicological outcome is discussed.

Abstract
Thermophilic fungi are a small assemblage in mycota that have a minimum temperature of growth at or above 20 degrees C and a maximum temperature of growth extending up to 60 to 62 degrees C. As the only representatives of eukaryotic organisms that can grow at temperatures above 45 degrees C, the thermophilic fungi are valuable experimental systems for investigations of mechanisms that allow growth at moderately high temperature yet limit their growth beyond 60 to 62 degrees C. Although widespread in terrestrial habitats, they have remained underexplored compared to thermophilic species of eubacteria and archaea. However, thermophilic fungi are potential sources of enzymes with scientific and commercial interests. This review, for the first time, compiles information on the physiology and enzymes of thermophilic fungi. Thermophilic fungi can be grown in minimal media with metabolic rates and growth yields comparable to those of mesophilic fungi. Studies of their growth kinetics, respiration, mixed-substrate utilization, nutrient uptake, and protein breakdown rate have provided some basic information not only on thermophilic fungi but also on filamentous fungi in general. Some species have the ability to grow at ambient temperatures if cultures are initiated with germinated spores or mycelial inoculum or if a nutritionally rich medium is used. Thermophilic fungi have a powerful ability to degrade polysaccharide constituents of biomass. The properties of their enzymes show differences not only among species but also among strains of the same species. Their extracellular enzymes display temperature optima for activity that are close to or above the optimum temperature for the growth of organism and, in general, are more heat stable than those of the mesophilic fungi. Some extracellular enzymes from thermophilic fungi are being produced commercially, and a few others have commercial prospects. Genes of thermophilic fungi encoding lipase, protease, xylanase, and cellulase have been cloned and overexpressed in heterologous fungi, and pure crystalline proteins have been obtained for elucidation of the mechanisms of their intrinsic thermostability and catalysis. By contrast, the thermal stability of the few intracellular enzymes that have been purified is comparable to or, in some cases, lower than that of enzymes from the mesophilic fungi. Although rigorous data are lacking, it appears that eukaryotic thermophily involves several mechanisms of stabilization of enzymes or optimization of their activity, with different mechanisms operating for different enzymes.
