The effect of SDS, pD, and temperature on the structure and stability of the protein disulfide oxidoreductase from Pyrococcus furiosus (PfPDO) was investigated by molecular dynamic (MD) simulations and FT-IR spectroscopy. pD affects the thermostability of alpha-helices and beta-sheets differently, and 0.5% or higher SDS concentration influences the structure significantly. The experiments allowed us to detect a secondary structural reorganization at a definite temperature and pD which may correlate with a high ATPase activity of the protein. The MD simulations supported the infrared data and revealed the different behavior of the N and C terminal segments, as well as of the two active sites.

N-glycosylation is crucial in the process of wheat yellow mosaic virus (WYMV) infection, but changes in site-specific N-glycosylation of proteins during WYMV infection have not been well studied. In this study, we employed an intact glycopeptide approach to analyze mock- and WYMV-infected wheat plants. We found that most glycoproteins have N-glycans containing paucimannose or complex/hybrid chains.

Background: Pancreatic cancer (PC) is a lethal malignancy characterized by poor prognosis and high mortality. We found the highly expressed RNA-binding motif protein 47 (RBM47) in PC progression. The RBM47 expression was negatively correlated with natural killer (NK) cell infiltrate in PC.

Background/objectives: Anterior Gradient-2 (AGR2/PDIA17) is a member of the protein disulfide isomerase (PDI) family of oxidoreductases. AGR2 is up-regulated in several solid tumors, including pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC). Given the dire need for new therapeutic options for PDAC patients, we investigated the expression and function of AGR2 in PDAC and developed a novel series of affinity-matured AGR2-specific single-chain variable fragments (scFvs) and monoclonal antibodies.

Aim: There remain limited therapies to treat thyroid eye disease (TED) orbital fibrosis, highlighting the urgency to develop novel targets. Transforming growth factor-β1 (TGF-β1)-induced myofibroblast transdifferentiation from orbital fibroblasts are important pathogenetic factor of TED. Endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stress may play a role in TED pathogenesis since it has been linked to liver, kidney, heart and lung fibrotic remodelling.

Transglutaminase 2 (TG2) is a uniquely versatile protein with diverse catalytic activities, such as transglutaminase, protein disulfide isomerase, GTPase and protein kinase, and participates in several biological processes. According to information available in the RBP2GO database, TG2 can act as an RNA-binding protein (RBP). RBPs participate in posttranscriptional gene expression regulation, therefore influencing the function of RNA, whereas RNA molecules can also modulate the biological activity of RBPs.
