Abstract excerpt
Protein disulphide isomerase (PDI) is an essential protein which is localized to the endoplasmic reticulum of eukaryotic cells. It catalyses the formation and isomerization of disulphide bonds during the folding of secretory proteins. PDI is composed of domains with structural homology to thioredoxin and with CXXC catalytic motifs. EUG1 encodes a yeast protein, Eug1p, that is highly homologous to PDI. However,...
