Abstract

Protein-disulfide isomerase (PDI) is an abundant protein of the endoplasmic reticulum that catalyzes dithiol oxidation and disulfide bond reduction and isomerization using the active site CGHC. Haploid pdi1 delta Saccharomyces cerevisiae are inviable, but can be complemented with either a wild-type rat PDI gene or a mutant gene coding for CGHS PDI (shufflease). In contrast, pdi1 delta yeast cannot be complemented with a gene coding for SGHC PDI. In vitro, shufflease is an efficient catalyst for the isomerization of existing disulfide bonds but not for dithiol oxidation or disulfide bond reduction. SGHC PDI catalyzes none of these processes. These results indicate that in vivo protein folding pathways contain intermediates with non-native disulfide bonds, and that the essential role of PDI is to unscramble these intermediates.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
