Project description:Melampsora larici-populina (Mlp), the causal agent of Populus leaf rust, secretes an array of effectors into the host through the haustorium to gain nutrients and suppress immunity. The precise mechanisms by which these effectors promote virulence remain unclear. To address this question, we developed a transgenic Arabidopsis line expressing a candidate effector, Mlp124357. Constitutive expression of the effector increased plant susceptibility to pathogens. A GxxxG motif present in Mlp124357 is required for its subcellular localization at the vacuolar membrane of the plant cell, as replacement of the glycine residues with alanines led to the delocalization of Mlp124357 to the nucleus and cytoplasm. We used immunoprecipitation and mass spectrometry (MS) to identify Mlp124357 interaction partners. Only one of the putative interaction partners knock-out line caused delocalization of the effector, indicating that Arabidopsis protein disulfide isomerase-11 (AtPDI-11) is required for the effector localization. This interaction was further confirmed by a complementation test, a yeast-two hybrid assay and a molecular modeling experiment. Moreover, localization results and infection assays suggest that AtPDI-11 act as a helper for Mlp124357. In summary, our findings established that one of Mlp effectors resides at the vacuole surface and modulates plant susceptibility.

Project description:Protein disulfide isomerases (PDIs) catalyze the correct folding of proteins and prevent the aggregation of unfolded or partially folded precursors. Whereas suppression of members of the PDI gene family can delay replication of several human and animal viruses (e.g., HIV), their role in interactions with plant viruses is largely unknown. Here, using a positional cloning strategy we identified variants of PROTEIN DISULFIDE ISOMERASE LIKE 5-1 (HvPDIL5-1) as the cause of naturally occurring resistance to multiple strains of Bymoviruses. The role of wild-type HvPDIL5-1 in conferring susceptibility was confirmed by targeting induced local lesions in genomes for induced mutant alleles, transgene-induced complementation, and allelism tests using different natural resistance alleles. The geographical distribution of natural genetic variants of HvPDIL5-1 revealed the origin of resistance conferring alleles in domesticated barley in Eastern Asia. Higher sequence diversity was correlated with areas with increased pathogen diversity suggesting adaptive selection for bymovirus resistance. HvPDIL5-1 homologs are highly conserved across species of the plant and animal kingdoms implying that orthologs of HvPDIL5-1 or other closely related members of the PDI gene family may be potential susceptibility factors to viruses in other eukaryotic species.

Project description:Patients with multiple myeloma refractory to standard treatments have short survival. High PDIA1 expression confers resistance to proteasome inhibitors and other stressors due to the gain in ER-function, while maintaining or increasing vulnerability to PDIA1 inhibition. In this study we report the identification and characterization of an orally bioavailable novel PDIA1 inhibitor CCF642-34 that is effective against multiple myeloma in pre-clinical models.

Project description:The plant-parasitic nematode Heterodera schachtii is an obligate biotroph that induces syncytial feeding sites in roots of its hosts. Nematodes produce effectors that are secreted into the host and facilitate infection process. Here we identified H. schachtii protein disulphide isomerase (HsPDI) as a putative effector that interferes with the host's redox status. In situ hybridization showed that HsPdi is specifically localized within esophageal glands of pre-parasitic second stage juveniles (J2). HsPdi is up-regulated in the early parasitic J2s. Silencing of HsPdi by RNA interference in the J2s hampers their development and leads to structural malfunctions in associated feeding sites induced in Arabidopsis roots. Expression of HsPDI in Arabidopsis increases plant's susceptibility towards H. schachtii. HsPdi expression is up-regulated in the presence of exogenous H2O2, whereas HsPdi silencing results in increased mortality under H2O2 stress. Stable expression of HsPDI in Arabidopsis plants decreases ROS burst induced by flg22. Transiently expressed HsPDI in N. benthamiana leaves is localized in the apoplast. HsPDI plays an important role in the interaction between nematode and plant, probably through inducing local changes in the redox status of infected host tissue. It also contributes to protect the nematode from exogenous H2O2 stress.

Project description:Protein disulfide isomerase (PDI) composed of four thioredoxin-like domains a, b, b', and a', is a key enzyme catalyzing oxidative protein folding in the endoplasmic reticulum. Large scale molecular dynamics simulations starting from the crystal structures of human PDI (hPDI) in the oxidized and reduced states were performed. The results indicate that hPDI adopts more compact conformations in solution than in the crystal structures, which are stabilized primarily by inter-domain interactions, including the salt bridges between domains a and b' observed for the first time. A prominent feature of the compact conformations is that the two catalytic domains a and a' can locate close enough for intra-molecular electron transfer, which was confirmed by the characterization of an intermediate with a disulfide between the two domains. Mutations, which disrupt the inter-domain interactions, lead to decreased reductase activity of hPDI. Our molecular dynamics simulations and biochemical experiments reveal the intrinsic conformational dynamics of hPDI and its biological impact.

Project description:Enzyme-mediated disulfide bond formation is a highly conserved process affecting over one-third of all eukaryotic proteins. The enzymes primarily responsible for facilitating thiol-disulfide exchange are members of an expanding family of proteins known as protein disulfide isomerases (PDIs). These proteins are part of a larger superfamily of proteins known as the thioredoxin protein family (TRX). As members of the PDI family of proteins, all proteins contain a TRX-like structural domain and are predominantly expressed in the endoplasmic reticulum. Subcellular localization and the presence of a TRX domain, however, comprise the short list of distinguishing features required for gene family classification. To date, the PDI gene family contains 21 members, varying in domain composition, molecular weight, tissue expression, and cellular processing. Given their vital role in protein-folding, loss of PDI activity has been associated with the pathogenesis of numerous disease states, most commonly related to the unfolded protein response (UPR). Over the past decade, UPR has become a very attractive therapeutic target for multiple pathologies including Alzheimer disease, Parkinson disease, alcoholic and non-alcoholic liver disease, and type-2 diabetes. Understanding the mechanisms of protein-folding, specifically thiol-disulfide exchange, may lead to development of a novel class of therapeutics that would help alleviate a wide range of diseases by targeting the UPR.

Project description:Apolipoprotein (apo) B is an obligatory component of very low density lipoprotein (VLDL), and its cotranslational and posttranslational modifications are important in VLDL synthesis, secretion, and hepatic lipid homeostasis. ApoB100 contains 25 cysteine residues and eight disulfide bonds. Although these disulfide bonds were suggested to be important in maintaining apoB100 function, neither the specific oxidoreductase involved nor the direct role of these disulfide bonds in apoB100-lipidation is known. Here we used RNA knockdown to evaluate both MTP-dependent and -independent roles of PDI1 in apoB100 synthesis and lipidation in McA-RH7777 cells. Pdi1 knockdown did not elicit any discernible detrimental effect under normal, unstressed conditions. However, it decreased apoB100 synthesis with attenuated MTP activity, delayed apoB100 oxidative folding, and reduced apoB100 lipidation, leading to defective VLDL secretion. The oxidative folding-impaired apoB100 was secreted mainly associated with LDL instead of VLDL particles from PDI1-deficient cells, a phenotype that was fully rescued by overexpression of wild-type but not a catalytically inactive PDI1 that fully restored MTP activity. Further, we demonstrate that PDI1 directly interacts with apoB100 via its redox-active CXXC motifs and assists in the oxidative folding of apoB100. Taken together, these findings reveal an unsuspected, yet key role for PDI1 in oxidative folding of apoB100 and VLDL assembly.

Project description:The rice root-knot nematode, Meloidogyne graminicola, is a serious pest in most rice-growing countries. Usually, nematodes employ antioxidants to counteract the harm of reactive oxygen species (ROS) and facilitate their infection. Here the gene encoding M. graminicola protein disulphide isomerase (MgPDI) was identified. The deduced protein is highly conserved in the putative active-site Cys-Gly-His-Cys. In situ hybridization showed that MgPDI was specifically localized within esophageal glands of pre-parasitic second stage juveniles (J2s). MgPDI was significantly up-regulated in the late parasitic J2s. Characterization of the recombinant protein showed that the purified MgPDI exhibited similar activities to other oxidases/isomerases such as the refolding of the scrambled RNase and insulin disulfide reductase and the protection of plasmid DNA and living cells from ROS damage. In addition, silencing of MgPDI by RNA interference in the pre-parasitic J2s lowered their multiplication factor. MgPDI expression was up-regulated in the presence of exogenous H2O2, whereas MgPDI silencing resulted in an increase in mortality under H2O2 stress. MgPDI is localized in the apoplast when transient expression in Nicotiana benthamiana leaves. The results indicated that MgPDI plays important roles in the reproduction and pathogenicity of M. graminicola and it also contributes to protecting nematodes from exogenous H2O2 stress.

Project description:Protein disulfide isomerases (PDIs) aid protein folding and assembly by catalyzing formation and shuffling of cysteine disulfide bonds in the endoplasmic reticulum (ER). Many members of the PDI family are expressed in mammals but the roles of specific PDIs in vivo are poorly understood. A recent homology-based search for additional PDI family members identified anterior gradient homolog 2 (AGR2), a protein originally presumed to be secreted by intestinal epithelial cells, but the function of AGR2 has been obscure. Here we show that AGR2 is expressed in the ER of secretory cells and is essential for in vivo production of intestinal mucin, a large cysteine-rich glycoprotein that forms the protective mucus gel lining the intestine. A cysteine residue within the AGR2 thioredoxin-like domain forms mixed disulfide bonds with MUC2, consistent with a direct role for AGR2 in mucin processing. Despite a complete absence of intestinal mucin, mice lacking AGR2 appeared healthy but were highly susceptible to dextran sodium sulfate-induced experimental colitis, indicating a critical role for AGR2 in protection from environmental insults. We conclude that AGR2 is a unique member of the PDI family that has a specialized and non-redundant role in intestinal mucus production. Keywords: small intestine and colon gene expression profiles for Agr2-/- and littermate control mice DNA miocroarrays were used to analyze small intenstine and colon mRNA expression of AGR2 KO and littermate control mice. The experiment incorporated a 1 color design and used Agilent arrays that contained roughly 44,00 60mer probes that provide complete coverage of the mouse genome. 12 arrays were hybridized and represent 8 small intestine samples ( 4 each KO and WT) and 4 colon samples (2 each KO and WT)

Project description:We explore the enzymatic mechanism of the reduction of glutathione disulfide (GSSG) by the reduced a domain of human protein disulfide isomerase (hPDI) with atomistic resolution. We use classical molecular dynamics and hybrid quantum mechanics/molecular mechanics calculations at the mPW1N/6-311+G(2d,2p):FF99SB//mPW1N/6-31G(d):FF99SB level. The reaction proceeds in two stages: (i) a thiol-disulfide exchange through nucleophilic attack of the Cys53-thiolate to the GSSG-disulfide followed by the deprotonation of Cys56-thiol by Glu47-carboxylate and (ii) a second thiol-disulfide exchange between the Cys56-thiolate and the mixed disulfide intermediate formed in the first step. The Gibbs activation energy for the first stage was 18.7 kcal·mol-1, and for the second stage, it was 7.2 kcal·mol-1, in excellent agreement with the experimental barrier (17.6 kcal·mol-1). Our results also suggest that the catalysis by protein disulfide isomerase (PDI) and thiol-disulfide exchange is mostly enthalpy-driven (entropy changes below 2 kcal·mol-1 at all stages of the reaction). Hydrogen bonds formed between the backbone of His55 and Cys56 and the Cys56-thiol result in an increase in the Gibbs energy barrier of the first thiol-disulfide exchange. The solvent plays a key role in stabilizing the leaving glutathione thiolate formed. This role is not exclusively electrostatic, because an explicit inclusion of several water molecules at the density-functional theory level is a requisite to form the mixed disulfide intermediate. In the intramolecular oxidation of PDI, a transition state is only observed if hydrogen bond donors are nearby the mixed disulfide intermediate, which emphasizes that the thermochemistry of thiol-disulfide exchange in PDI is influenced by the presence of hydrogen bond donors.
