Microbial Peptidyl-Prolyl <i>cis</i> / <i>trans</i> Isomerases (PPIases): Virulence Factors and Potential Alternative Drug Targets
1 Sept 2014
Abstract excerpt
Initially discovered in the context of immunomodulation, peptidyl-prolyl cis/trans isomerases (PPIases) were soon identified as enzymes catalyzing the rate-limiting protein folding step at peptidyl bonds preceding proline residues. Intense searches revealed that PPIases are a superfamily of proteins consisting of three structurally distinguishable families with representatives in every described species of...
