Abstract excerpt
Parvulins belong to a family of peptidyl-prolyl cis/trans isomerases (PPIases) that catalyze the cis/trans conformations of prolyl-peptidyl bonds. Herein, we characterized two novel parvulins, TbPIN1 and TbPAR42, in Trypanosoma brucei. TbPIN1, a 115 amino-acid protein, contains a single PPIase domain but lacks the N-terminal WW domain. Using NMR spectroscopy, TbPIN1 was found to exhibit PPIase activity toward a...
