Abstract excerpt
FKBP22, a PPIase (peptidyl-prolyl cis-trans isomerase) produced by Escherichia coli, binds FK506 and rapamycin (both immunosuppressive drugs), shares significant homology with the Mip-like virulence factors, and has been thought to carry a long α-helix (namely α3) between its two domains. To understand whether the length of helix α3 plays any role in the structure, function, and stability of FKBP22-like proteins,...
