Abstract excerpt
The human Z-type α1-antitrypsin variant has a strong tendency to accumulate folding intermediates due to extremely slow protein folding within the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) of hepatocytes. Human α1-antitrypsin has 17 peptidyl-prolyl bonds per molecule; thus, the effect of peptidyl-prolyl isomerases on Z-type α1-antitrypsin protein folding was analyzed in this study. The protein level of Cpr2p, a yeast ER...
