The chaperone activity of protein disulfide isomerase is affected by cyclophilin B and cyclosporin A in vitro.
To elucidate the function of protein disulfide isomerase (PDI), we screened for PDI-binding proteins in a bovine liver extract using affinity column chromatography. One of the binding proteins was identified by SDS-PAGE and N-terminal amino acid sequence analysis to be cyclophilin B (Cyp B). Use of the BIACORE system revealed that purified bovine Cyp B bound specifically to bovine PDI with a K(D) value of 1.19 x 10(-5) M. Interestingly, the binding affinity between PDI and Cyp B was strengthened by preincubation of the Cyp B with cyclosporin A (CsA), yielding a K(D) value of 3.67 x 10(-6) M. Although the interaction between PDI and Cyp B affected neither the isomerase activity of PDI nor the peptidyl-prolyl cis-trans isomerase activity of Cyp B, Cyp B increased the chaperone activity of PDI. However, the complex of Cyp B and CsA completely inhibited the chaperone activity of PDI. Thus, PDI and Cyp B appear to cooperate with each other to regulate the functional expression of proteins in vivo.
