Abstract excerpt
Protein disulfide isomerase (PDI)-like proteins act as oxido-reductases and chaperones in the endoplasmic reticulum (ER). How oligomerization of the PDI-like proteins control these activities is unknown. Here we show that dimerization of ERp29, a PDI-like protein, regulates its protein unfolding and escort activities. We have demonstrated previously that ERp29 induces the local unfolding of polyomavirus in the...
