Abstract excerpt
Protein disulfide isomerase (PDI) is a multifunctional protein required for many aspects of protein folding and transit through the endoplasmic reticulum. A conserved family of three PDIs has been functionally analysed using genetic mutants of the model organism Caenorhabditis elegans. PDI-1 and PDI-3 are individually non-essential, whereas PDI-2 is required for normal post-embryonic development. In combination,...
