The protein folding machinery of the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) ensures that proteins entering the eukaryotic secretory pathway acquire appropriate post-translational modifications and reach a stably folded state. An important component of this protein folding process is the supply of disulfide bonds. These are introduced into client proteins by ER resident oxidoreductases, including ER oxidoreductin 1 (Ero1). Ero1 is usually considered to function in a linear pathway, by 'donating' a disulfide bond to protein disulfide isomerase (PDI) and receiving electrons that are passed on to the terminal electron acceptor molecular oxygen. PDI engages with a range of clients as the direct catalyst of disulfide bond formation, isomerization or reduction. In this paper, we will consider the interactions of Ero1 with PDI family proteins and chaperones, highlighting the effect that redox flux has on Ero1 partnerships. In addition, we will discuss whether higher order protein complexes play a role in Ero1 function.
内质网(ER)的蛋白质折叠机制确保进入真核分泌途径的蛋白质获得适当的翻译后修饰并达到稳定折叠状态。该蛋白质折叠过程的一个重要组成部分是提供二硫键。这些二硫键是由 ER 驻留的氧化还原酶引入到客户蛋白中的,包括 ER 氧化还原酶 1(Ero1)。Ero1 通常被认为在一条线性途径中发挥作用,通过“捐赠”一个二硫键给蛋白二硫键异构酶(PDI)并接收电子,这些电子被传递给末端电子受体分子氧。PDI 与一系列客户合作,作为形成、异构化或还原二硫键的直接催化剂。在本文中,我们将考虑 Ero1 与 PDI 家族蛋白和伴侣蛋白的相互作用,重点讨论氧化还原通量对 Ero1 伙伴关系的影响。此外,我们还将讨论是否更高阶的蛋白质复合物在 Ero1 功能中发挥作用。
