Abstract excerpt
Endoplasmic reticulum (ER) oxidoreductin 1α (Ero1α) is a disulfide producer in the ER of mammalian cells. Besides four catalytic cysteines (Cys(94), Cys(99), Cys(394), Cys(397)), Ero1α harbors four regulatory cysteines (Cys(104), Cys(131), Cys(208), Cys(241)). These cysteines mediate the formation of inhibitory intramolecular disulfide bonds, which adapt the activation state of the enzyme to the redox environment...
