Biochemical properties of a homogenous preparation of thiol:protein disulfide oxidoreductase (TPDO, EC 1.8.4.2) isolated for the first time from mature wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) grain were studied. According to polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis data, the molecular weight of TPDO is around 167 kD, the enzyme consisting of two subunits of 77 and 73 kD, which differentiates TPDO from known enzymes of SH/SS-metabolism of wheat caryopses. In substrate specificity and enzymatic characteristics (pH and temperature optima) TPDO is similar to analogous enzymes of animal tissues. Inhibition of disulfide reductase activity by alkylating agents and heavy metal ions suggests the participation of active center SH-groups in the catalytic act and classes the enzyme as a member of the thioredoxin superfamily. The SS-reductase reduces aggregating capacity of acetic acid-soluble fraction of wheat storage proteins. The proposed physiological role of TPDO is participation in creation and regulation of SH/SS-status of wheat endosperm proteins and formation of the rheological properties of gluten.

The toxicity risk of hyperhomocysteinemia is prevented through thiol drug administration which reduces plasma total homocysteine (tHcy) concentrations by activating thiol exchange reactions. Assuming that cysteine (Cys) is a homocysteinemia regulator, the hypothesis was verified in healthy and pathological individuals after the methionine loading test (MLT). The plasma variations of redox species of Cys, Hcy, cysteinylglycine, glutathione and albumin (reduced, HS-ALB, and at mixed disulfide, XSS-ALB) were compared in patients with cerebral small vessels disease (CSVD) (n = 11), multiple sclerosis (MS) (n = 12) and healthy controls (n = 11) at 2-4-6 h after MLT.

Recombinant proteins expressed in Escherichia coli are often produced as unfolded, inactive forms accumulated in inclusion bodies. Redox-coupled thiols are typically employed in the refolding process in order to catalyze the formation of correct disulfide bonds at maximal folding efficiency. These thiols and the recombinant proteins can form mixed disulfide bonds to generate thiol-protein adducts.

Platelet protein disulphide isomerase (PDI) has a role in platelet aggregation, probably targeting a thiol-containing platelet surface protein. The thiol-containing P2Y(12) ADP receptor is involved in aggregation induced by most agonists and may be the target of PDI. By excluding the P2Y(12) pathway and using the anti-PDI antibody RL90 this study showed that PDI targets a non-P2Y(12) thiol-protein in aggregation.

ERp57/GRp58 is a thiol-protein disulphide oxidoreductase and has been studied in many clinically relevant systems, both as a chaperone protein and as a membrane receptor for the steroid hormone, 1,25(OH)2D3. Our laboratory investigates phenomena associated with rapid, membrane-initiated signaling by steroid hormones synthesized from vitamin D (cholecalciferol). We have recently reported that the cell surface receptor for the metabolite 1,25-dihydroxyvitamin D3 [1,25(OH)2D3], which we have termed the 1,25D3-MARRS (Membrane Associated, Rapid Response Steroid binding) receptor, is in fact identical to ERp57/GRp58.
