About this product

Product Information

One of the rate-limiting steps in the folding pathways of many secretory proteins is the formation of correct disulfide bonds between cysteine residues. In eukaryotes, both disulfide bond formation and isomerisation which shuffles incorrectly formed disulfides are catalysed by protein disulfide isomerase (PDI), whereas in bacteria these two reactions are catalysed by separate enzymes. Both in eukaryotic and prokaryotic cells the oxidation and isomerisation steps proceed exclusively in extracytoplasmic environments (the lumen of the eukaryotic endoplasmic reticulum and the Gram-negative bacterial periplasmic space). The family of foldases under discussion is characterised by a conserved "thioredoxin fold" and a common active site motif: Cys-X-X-Cys. The process of disulfide bond formation relies on thiol-disulfide exchange between oxidised and reduced cysteine pairs in the catalyst and substrate protein. Two separate pathways involved in disulfide bond formation and isomerisation have been characterised both in eukaryotes and in bacteria. In the oxidative pathway, oxidizing equivalents flow from oxygen to a membrane protein (Ero1p in eukaryotes or DsbB in bacteria), and then to a folding protein containing reduced cysteines via PDI (in eukaryotes) or via DsbA (in bacteria). In the isomerisation pathway, DsbC (bacterial protein disulfide isomerase) or PDI (in eukaryotes) interacts with substrate proteins that contain non-native disulfide bonds, allowing these bonds to rearrange to their native pairings. Reducing equivalents which are necessary to maintain DsbC in a reduced form, able to attack misfolded disulfides, are transferred from the cytoplasm with the aid of the cytoplasmic membrane protein DsbD. In eukaryotes, reduced glutathione is the main source of reducing equivalents for PDI. A dual role of PDI as an oxidase and an isomerase is facilitated by its complex domain architecture.

Product is 95% alike picture but a little more blurry. Controller play well but had a notice from psn that my joypad wasn't authentic and could by problematic🤷‍♂️ no trouble so far! Shipping was fast but no tracking and worst packaging ever.. like the box came banged up... send a question to seller never had a reply 😅.... Good product overall, excellent price, fast shipping, wrapped only on 4 sides out of 6, no tracking and never reply... 4★ product / 2★ seller ✌️

The book is in perfect condition, brand new, and is exactly as described. This item is difficult to find here, and the seller priced it very reasonably. It shipped from the UK to Canada, and unfortunately took a little longer to arrive than the seller hoped, but it was shipped less than 24 hours after I purchased. When I contacted the seller, they were very responsive and helpful. I would not hesitate to purchase from this seller again. Definitely recommend!
