Recycling of peroxiredoxin IV provides a novel pathway for disulphide formation in the endoplasmic reticulumEro1 is thought to be the only oxidase that mediates the re-oxidation of protein disulphide isomerases (PDIs) during oxidative protein folding in the ER. This study reveals that peroxiredoxin IV can also directly oxidize PDI-family members and thus act as a second source of oxidizing equivalents for disulphide-bond formation in the ER.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
