Protein disulfide isomerase or PDI is an enzyme in the endoplasmic reticulum in eukaryotes that catalyzes the formation and breakage of disulfide bonds between cysteine residues within proteins as they fold.[1][2] This allows proteins to quickly find the correct arrangement of disulfide bonds in their fully folded state, and therefore the enzyme acts to catalyze protein folding.

Function [edit]
Protein folding [edit]
PDI contains four thioredoxin-like domains, two of which retain the canonical CXXC motif. The reduced (that is, dithiol) form of PDI is able to catalyse a reduction of mispaired thiol residues of a particular substrate, acting as an isomerase.[3] Therefore, PDI is capable of catalyzing the posttranslational modification disulfide exchange. Such exchange reactions can occur intramolecularly, leading to the rearrangement of disulfide bonds in a single protein.[4][4]
Another major function of PDI relates to its activity as a chaperone, i.e., it aids wrongly folded proteins to reach a correctly folded state without the aid of enzymatic disulfide shuffling.
Oxidized PDI can catalyze the formation of a disulfide bridge. This reduces PDI and a protein called Ero1 oxidizes it again.
Redox signaling [edit]
In the chloroplasts of the unicellular algae Chlamydomonas reinhardtii the PDI RB60 serves as a redox sensor component of an mRNA binding protein complex implicated in the photo-regulation of the translation of psbA, the RNA encoding for the photosystem II core protein D1. PDI has also been suggested to play a role in the formation of regulatory disulfide bonds in chloroplasts.[5]
Other functions [edit]
PDI helps load antigenic peptides into MHC class I molecules. These molecules (MHC I) are related to the peptide presentation by antigen presenting cells in the immune response.
PDI has been found to be involved in the breaking of bonds on the HIV gp120 protein during HIV infection of CD4 positive cells, and is required for HIV infection of lymphocytes and monocytes.[6] Some studies have shown it to be available for HIV infection on the surface of the cell clustered around the CD4 protein. Yet conflicting studies have shown that it is not available on the cell surface, but instead is found in significant amounts in the blood plasma.
Assays used for PDI activity [edit]
Insulin Turbidity Assay: PDI breaks the two disulfide bonds between two insulin (a and b) chains that results in precipitation of b chain. This precipitation can be monitored at 620 nm, which is indirectly used monitor PDI activity.[7] Sensitivity of this assay is in micromolar range.
ScRNase assay: PDI converts scrambled (inactive) RNase into native (active) RNase that further acts on its substrate.[8] The sensitivity is in micromolar range.
Di-E-GSSG assay: This is the fluorometric assay that can detect picomolar quantities of PDI and therefore is the most sensitive assay to date for detecting PDI activity.[9] Di-E-GSSG has two eosin molecules attached to oxidized glutathione (GSSG). The proximity of eosin molecules leads to the quenching of its fluorescence. However, upon breakage of disulfide bond by PDI, fluorescence increases 70-fold.
