Abstract
Trichlorophenol (TCP) is a widely used and persistent environmentally toxic compound that poses a carcinogenic risk to humans. Phytoremediation is a proficient cleanup technology for organic pollutants. In this study, we found that the disulfide isomerase-like protein AtPDIL1-2 in plants is a good candidate for enhancing 2,4,6-TCP phytoremediation. The expression of AtPDIL1-2 in Arabidopsis was induced by 2,4,6-TCP. The heterologously expressed AtPDIL1-2 in Escherichia coli exhibited both oxidase and isomerase activities as protein disulfide isomerase and improved bacteria tolerance to 2,4,6-TCP. Further research revealed that transgenic tobacco overexpressing AtPDIL1-2 was more tolerant to high concentrations of 2,4,6-TCP and removed the toxic compound at far greater rates than the control plants. To elucidate the mechanism of action of AtPDIL1-2, we investigated the chemical interaction of AtPDIL1-2 with 2,4,6-TCP for the first time. HPLC analysis implied that AtPDIL1-2 exerts a TCP-binding activity. A suitable configuration of AtPDIL1-2-TCP binding was obtained by molecular docking studies using the AutoDock program. It predicted that the TCP binding site is located in the b-b' domain of AtPDIL1-2 and that His254 of the protein is critical for the binding interaction. These findings imply that AtPDIL1-2 can be used for TCP detoxification by the way of overexpression in plants.

Abstract
Resistance to chemotherapeutic agents represents a major challenge in cancer research. One approach to this problem is combination therapy, the application of a toxic chemotherapeutic drug together with a sensitizing compound that addresses the vulnerability of cancer cells to induce apoptosis. Here we report the discovery of a new compound class (T8) that sensitizes various cancer cells towards etoposide treatment at subtoxic concentrations. Proteomic analysis revealed protein disulfide isomerase (PDI) as the target of the T8 class. In-depth chemical and biological studies such as the synthesis of optimized compounds, molecular docking analyses, cellular imaging, and apoptosis assays confirmed the unique mode of action through reversible PDI inhibition.

Abstract
Polybrominated diphenyl ethers (PBDEs) have been used in a variety of consumer products such as flame retardants and recently have been known to be widespread environmental pollutants, which probably affect biological functions of mammalian cells. However, the risk posed by PBDE metabolites has not been clarified. Our previous study suggested that bisphenol A (BPA), an endocrine-disrupting chemical, binds to protein disulfide isomerase (PDI) and inhibits its activity. PDI is an isomerase enzyme in the endoplasmic reticulum and facilitates the formation or cleavage of disulfide bonds. PDI consists of a, b, b', and a' domains and the c region, with the a and a' domains having isomerase active sites. In the present study, we tested the effects of 10 kinds of PBDE compounds and their metabolites on PDI. OH-PBDEs specifically inhibited the isomerase activity of PDI, with 4'-OH-PBDE more effective than 2' (or 2)-OH-PBDEs. 4'-OH-PBDE inhibited the isomerase activity of the b'a'c fragment but not that of ab and a'c, suggesting that the b' domain of PDI is essential for the inhibition by 4'-OH-PBDE. We also investigated the effects of these chemicals on the production of growth hormone (GH) in GH3 cells. In GH3 cells, levels of mRNA and protein of GH stimulated by T(3) were reduced by 4'-OH-PBDE and 4'-MeO-PBDE. The reduction in GH expression caused by these compounds was not changed by the overexpression or knockdown of PDI in GH3 cells, while these manipulations of PDI levels significantly suppressed the expression of GH. These results suggest that the biological effects of PBDEs differed depending on their brominated and hydroxylated positions.

Abstract
Background Protein Disulfide Isomerase (PDI) in the endoplasmic reticulum of all cells catalyzes the rearrangement of disulfide bridges during folding of membrane and secreted proteins. As PDI is also known to bind various molecules including hormones such as estradiol and thyroxin, we considered the hypothesis that adverse effects of endocrine-disrupter compounds (EDC) could be mediated through their interaction with PDI leading to defects in membrane or secreted proteins. Methodology/Principal Findings Taking advantage of the recent description of the fluorescence self quenched substrate di-eosin-oxidized-glutathion (DiE-GSSG), we determined kinetically the effects of various potential pharmaceutical EDCs on the in-vitro reductase activity of bovine liver PDI by measuring the fluorescence of the reaction product (E-GSH). Our data show that estrogens (ethynylestradiol and bisphenol-A) as well as indomethacin exert an inhibition whereas medroxyprogesteroneacetate and nortestosterone exert a potentiation of bovine PDI reductase activity. Conclusions The present data indicate that the tested EDCs could not only affect endocrine target cells through nuclear receptors as previously shown, but could also affect these and all other cells by positively or negatively affecting PDI activity. The substrate DiE-GSSG has been demonstrated to be a convenient substrate to measure PDI reductase activity in the presence of various potential EDCs. It will certainely be usefull for the screening of potential effect of all kinds of chemicals on PDI reductase activity.

Abstract
Bisphenol A [2,2-bis-(4-hydroxyphenyl) propane; BPA] is a versatile industrial material for plastic products, but is increasingly being recognized as a pervasive industrial pollutant as well. Accumulating evidence indicates that the environmental contaminant BPA is one of the endocrine-disrupting chemicals that potentially can adversely affect humans as well as wildlife. To define the molecular aspects of BPA action, we first investigated the molecules with which it physically interacts. High BPA-binding activity was detected in the P2 membrane fraction prepared from rat brains. As determined by SDS-PAGE analysis, the molecular mass of a BPA-binding protein purified from the rat brain P2 fraction was 53 kDa. The N-terminal amino acid sequence of the purified BPA-binding protein was identical with that of the rat protein disulfide isomerase (PDI), which is a multifunctional protein that is critically involved in the folding, assembly, and shedding of many cellular proteins via its isomerase activity in addition to being considered to function as an intracellular hormone reservoir. The Kd value of BPA binding to recombinant rat PDI was 22.6 +/- 6.6 microm. Importantly, the binding activity of L-T3 and 17beta-estradiol hormones to PDI was competitively inhibited by BPA in addition to abolishing its isomerase activities. In this paper we report that the ubiquitous and multifunctional protein PDI is a target of BPA and propose that binding to PDI and subsequent inhibition of PDI activity might be mechanistically responsible for various actions of BPA.

Abstract
The human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) envelope (Env) glycoprotein (gp) 120 is a highly disulfide-bonded molecule that attaches HIV to the lymphocyte surface receptors CD4 and CXCR4. Conformation changes within gp120 result from binding and trigger HIV/cell fusion. Inhibition of lymphocyte surface-associated protein-disulfide isomerase (PDI) blocks HIV/cell fusion, suggesting that redox changes within Env are required. Using a sensitive assay based on a thiol reagent, we show that (i) the thiol content of gp120, either secreted by mammalian cells or bound to a lymphocyte surface enabling CD4 but not CXCR4 binding, was 0.5-1 pmol SH/pmol gp120 (SH/gp120), whereas that of gp120 after its interaction with a surface enabling both CD4 and CXCR4 binding was raised to 4 SH/gp120; (ii) PDI inhibitors prevented this change; and (iii) gp120 displaying 2 SH/gp120 exhibited CD4 but not CXCR4 binding capacity. In addition, PDI inhibition did not impair gp120 binding to receptors. We conclude that on average two of the nine disulfides of gp120 are reduced during interaction with the lymphocyte surface after CXCR4 binding prior to fusion and that cell surface PDI catalyzes this process. Disulfide bond restructuring within Env may constitute the molecular basis of the post-receptor binding conformational changes that induce fusion competence.

Abstract
We previously reported that monoclonal antibodies to protein-disulfide isomerase (PDI) and other membrane-impermeant PDI inhibitors prevented HIV-1 infection. PDI is present at the surface of HIV-1 target cells and reduces disulfide bonds in a model peptide attached to the cell membrane. Here we show that soluble PDI cleaves disulfide bonds in recombinant envelope glycoprotein gp120 and that gp120 bound to the surface receptor CD4 undergoes a disulfide reduction that is prevented by PDI inhibitors. Concentrations of inhibitors that prevent this reduction and inhibit the cleavage of surface-bound disulfide conjugate prevent infection at the level of HIV-1 entry. The entry of HIV-1 strains differing in their coreceptor specificities is similarly inhibited, and so is the reduction of gp120 bound to CD4 of coreceptor-negative cells. PDI inhibitors also prevent HIV envelope-mediated cell-cell fusion but have no effect on the entry of HIV-1 pseudo-typed with murine leukemia virus envelope. Importantly, PDI coprecipitates with both soluble and cellular CD4. We propose that a PDI.CD4 association at the cell surface enables PDI to reach CD4-bound virus and to reduce disulfide bonds present in the domain of gp120 that binds to CD4. Conformational changes resulting from the opening of gp120-disulfide loops may drive the processes of virus-cell and cell-cell fusion. The biochemical events described identify new potential targets for anti-HIV agents.

Abstract
Several haloalkenes are metabolized in part to nephrotoxic cysteine S-conjugates; for example, trichloroethylene and tetrafluoroethylene are converted to S-(1,2-dichlorovinyl)-L-cysteine (DCVC) and S-(1,1,2,2-tetrafluoroethyl)-L-cysteine (TFEC), respectively. Although DCVC-induced toxicity has been investigated since the 1950s, the toxicity of TFEC and other haloalkene-derived cysteine S-conjugates has been studied more recently. Some segments of the US population are exposed to haloalkenes either through drinking water or in the workplace. Therefore, it is important to define the toxicological consequences of such exposures. Most halogenated cysteine S-conjugates are metabolized by cysteine S-conjugate beta-lyases to pyruvate, ammonia, and an alpha-chloroenethiolate (with DCVC) or an alpha-difluoroalkylthiolate (with TFEC) that may eliminate halide to give a thioacyl halide, which reacts with epsilon-amino groups of lysine residues in proteins. Nine mammalian pyridoxal 5'-phosphate (PLP)-containing enzymes catalyze cysteine S-conjugate beta-lyase reactions, including mitochondrial aspartate aminotransferase (mitAspAT), and mitochondrial branched-chain amino acid aminotransferase (BCAT(m)). Most of the cysteine S-conjugate beta-lyases are syncatalytically inactivated. TFEC-induced toxicity is associated with covalent modification of several mitochondrial enzymes of energy metabolism. Interestingly, the alpha-ketoglutarate- and branched-chain alpha-keto acid dehydrogenase complexes (KGDHC and BCDHC), but not the pyruvate dehydrogenase complex (PDHC), are susceptible to inactivation. mitAspAT and BCAT(m) may form metabolons with KGDHC and BCDHC, respectively, but no PLP enzyme is known to associate with PDHC. Consequently, we hypothesize that not only do these metabolons facilitate substrate channeling, but they also facilitate toxicant channeling, thereby promoting the inactivation of proximate mitochondrial enzymes and the induction of mitochondrial dysfunction.

Abstract
S-(1,1,2,2-Tetrafluoroethyl)-L-cysteine (TFEC, the cysteine S-conjugate of tetrafluoroethylene) is an example of a nephrotoxic, halogenated cysteine S-conjugate. Toxicity results in part from the cysteine S-conjugate beta-lyase(s)-catalyzed conversion of TFEC to a thioacylating fragment with the associated production of pyruvate and ammonia. In the present study, we have demonstrated that rat kidney homogenates contain at least three enzyme fractions that are capable of catalyzing a cysteine S-conjugate beta-lyase reaction with TFEC. One of these fractions contains a high-M(r) lyase. At least two proteins co-purify with this high-M(r) complex. N-Terminal analysis (15 cycles) revealed that the smaller species was mature protein disulfide isomerase (M(r) approximately 54,200) from which the 24 amino acid endoplasmic reticulum signal peptide had been removed. Internal amino acid sequencing (15 cycles) revealed that the larger species was mitochondrial HSP70 (mtHSP70; M(r) approximately 75,000). The present findings offer an explanation for the previous observation that mtHSP70 in kidney mitochondria is heavily thioacylated when rats are injected with TFEC (Bruschi et al., J Biol Chem 1993;268:23157-61).

Abstract
Protein disulfide isomerase (PDI) is a folding assistant of the eukaryotic endoplasmic reticulum, but it also binds the hormones, estradiol, and 3,3',5-triiodo-l-thyronine (T(3)). Hormone binding could be at discrete hormone binding sites, or it could be a nonphysiological consequence of binding site(s) that are involved in the interaction PDI with its peptide and protein substrates. Equilibrium dialysis, fluorescent hydrophobic probe binding (4,4'-dianilino-1,1'-binaphthyl-5,5'-disulfonic acid (bis-ANS)), competition binding, and enzyme activity assays reveal that the hormone binding sites are distinct from the peptide/protein binding sites. PDI has one estradiol binding site with modest affinity (2.1 +/- 0.5 microm). There are two binding sites with comparable affinity for T(3) (4.3 +/- 1.4 microm). One of these overlaps the estradiol site, whereas the other binds the hydrophobic probe, bis-ANS. Neither estradiol nor T(3) inhibit the catalytic or chaperone activity of PDI. Although the affinity of PDI for the hormones estradiol and T(3) is modest, the high local concentration of PDI in the endoplasmic reticulum (>200 microm) would drive hormone binding and result in the association of a substantial fraction (>90%) of the hormones in the cell with PDI. High capacity, low affinity hormone sites may function to buffer hormone concentration in the cell and allow tight, specific binding to the true receptor while preserving a reasonable number of hormone molecules in the very small volume of the cellular environment.

Abstract
Anthraniloyl adenosine-5'-triphosphate (Ant-ATP) and etheno-adenosine-5'-triphosphate (epsilon-ATP) complexed to Mg(2+) ions are substrates of protein disulfide isomerase (PDI). epsilon-ATP, coordinated to Tb(3+) ions, was used as a probe of the ATPase binding site. Sensitized luminescence arising from resonance energy transfer from epsilon-adenine to Tb(3+) is quenched by PDI. The luminescence results are discussed in reference to a model in which the distance of separation between epsilon-adenine (donor) and Tb(3+) (acceptor) is increased upon binding of PDI. The interaction of a small peptide of 14 amino acid residues with the b/b' domain of the protein does not influence the ATPase activity. The phosphorescence, fluorescence and fluorescence anisotropy of bound epsilon-ATP are not perturbed by the binding of the small molecular weight peptide to PDI. It is suggested that the peptide and ATP do not share a common binding site on the b/b' domain.

Abstract
ERcalcistorin/protein-disulfide isomerase (ECaSt/PDI) shows a 55% identity with mammalian protein-disulfide isomerase (PDI) (Lucero, H. A., Lebeche, D., and Kaminer, B. (1994) J. Biol. Chem. 269, 23112-23119) is a high capacity low affinity Ca2+-binding protein and behaves as a Ca2+ storage protein in the ER of a living cell (Lucero, H. A., Lebeche, D., and Kaminer, B. (1998) J. Biol. Chem. 273, 9857-9863). Here we show that recombinant ECaSt/PDI bound 26 mol of Ca2+/mol and a C-terminal truncated mutant bound 14 mol of Ca2+/mol, both with a Kd of 2.8 mM in 50 mM KCl and 5.2 mM in 150 mM KCl. The percentage reduction in Ca2+ binding in the mutant corresponded with the percentage reduction of deleted pairs of acidic residues, postulated low affinity Ca2+-binding sites. 5 mM Ca2+ moderately increased the PDI activity of both ECaSt/PDI and the C-terminal truncated mutant on reduced RNase and insulin. Surprisingly, ECaSt/PDI in the absence of Ca2+ prevented the spontaneous reactivation of reduced bovine pancreatic trypsin inhibitor. In the presence of 1-5 mM Ca2+ (or 10 microM polylysine) ECaSt/PDI augmented the bovine pancreatic trypsin inhibitor reactivation rate. In contrast, the C-terminal truncated ECaSt/PDI augmented rBPTI reactivation in the absence of Ca2+ and 1-5 mM Ca2+ further accelerated the reactivation rate, responses similar to those obtained with mammalian PDI.
