Cyclosporin A slows collagen triple-helix formation in vivo: indirect evidence for a physiologic role of peptidyl-prolyl cis-trans-isomerase.
1 Jan 1991
Abstract excerpt
Peptidyl-prolyl cis-trans-isomerase accelerates otherwise slow, rate-limiting isomerization steps during folding of proteins in vitro, but is not yet securely identified with any specific physiologic role. Peptidyl-prolyl cis-trans-isomerase and the cyclosporin A (CsA)-binding protein cyclophilin are identical, and peptidyl-prolyl cis-trans-isomerase activity is inhibited by the immunosuppressive drug CsA in...
