“…The multifunctional protein PDI is also aberrantly S-nitrosated in neurodegenerative conditions as shown in postmortem spinal cords of ALS patients and transgenic SOD1 G93A mouse model of ALS as well as in postmortem brains of AD and PD patients (Uehara et al, 2006 ; Walker et al, 2009 ; Chen et al, 2013 ; Jeon et al, 2014 ; Conway and Harris, 2015 ; Figure 2D ). PDI is an ER protein, but in disease conditions, triggered by redox PTMs in particular, it can translocate to the cytoplasm where it localizes to inclusions containing ALS-associated proteins (Turano et al, 2002 ; Honjo et al, 2011 ; Walker and Atkin, 2011 ; Farg et al, 2012 ; Jeon et al, 2014 ; Valle and Carrì, 2017 ; Matsusaki et al, 2020 ; Parakh et al, 2020 ). PDI, as an oxidoreductase chaperone, catalyzes the maturation of disulfide bond-containing proteins through oxidation and isomerization functions (Gonzalez et al, 2010 ).…”
