Protein Disulfide Isomerase Family

Disulfide bond formation in the endoplasmic reticulum is catalyzed by enzymes of the protein disulfide-isomerase family that harbor one or more thioredoxin-like domains. We recently discovered the transmembrane protein TMX3, a thiol-disulfide oxidoreductase of the protein disulfide-isomerase family. Here, we show that the endoplasmic reticulum-luminal region of TMX3 contains three thioredoxin-like domains, an N-terminal redox-active domain (named a) followed by two enzymatically inactive domains (b and b′). Using the recombinantly expressed TMX3 domain constructs a, ab, and abb′, we compared structural stability and enzymatic properties. By structural and biophysical methods, we demonstrate that the reduced a domain has features typical of a globular folded domain that is, however, greatly destabilized upon oxidization. Importantly, interdomain stabilization by the b domain renders the a domain more resistant toward chemical denaturation and proteolysis in both the oxidized and reduced form. In combination with molecular modeling studies of TMX3 abb′, the experimental results provide a new understanding of the relationship between the multidomain structure of TMX3 and its function as a redox enzyme. Overall, the data indicate that in addition to their role as substrate and co-factor binding domains, redox-inactive thioredoxin-like domains also function in stabilizing neighboring redox-active domains.

Protein Disulfide Isomerase Family

The thiol-disulfide oxidoreductases of the PDI (protein disulfide isomerase) family assist in disulfide-bond formation in the ER (endoplasmic reticulum). In the present study, we have shown that the previously uncharacterized PDI family member TMX4 (thioredoxin-like transmembrane 4) is an N-glycosylated type I membrane protein that localizes to the ER. We also demonstrate that TMX4 contains a single ER-luminal thioredoxin-like domain, which, in contrast with similar domains in other PDIs, is mainly oxidized in living cells. The TMX4 transcript displays a wide tissue distribution, and is strongly expressed in melanoma cells. Unlike many type I membrane proteins, TMX4 lacks a typical C-terminal di-lysine retrieval signal. Instead, the cytoplasmic tail has a conserved di-arginine motif of the RXR type. We show that mutation of the RQR sequence in TMX4 to KQK interferes with ER localization of the protein. Moreover, whereas the cytoplasmic region of TMX4 confers ER localization to a reporter protein, the KQK mutant of the same protein redistributes to the cell surface. Overall, features not commonly found in other PDIs characterize TMX4 and suggest unique functional properties of the protein.

Localization of soluble endoplasmic reticulum (ER) resident proteins is likely achieved by the complementary action of retrieval and retention mechanisms. Whereas the machinery involving the H/KDEL and related retrieval signals in targeting escapees back to the ER is well characterized, other mechanisms including retention are still poorly understood. We have identified a protein disulfide isomerase (Dd-PDI) lacking the HDEL retrieval signal normally found at the C terminus of ER residents in Dictyostelium discoideum. Here we demonstrate that its 57 residue C-terminal domain is necessary for intracellular retention of Dd-PDI and sufficient to localize a green fluorescent protein (GFP) chimera to the ER, especially to the nuclear envelope. Dd-PDI and GFP-PDI57 are recovered in similar cation-dependent complexes. The overexpression of GFP-PDI57 leads to disruption of endogenous PDI complexes and induces the secretion of PDI, whereas overexpression of a GFP-HDEL chimera induces the secretion of endogenous calreticulin, revealing the presence of two independent and saturable mechanisms. Finally, low-level expression of Dd-PDI but not of PDI truncated of its 57 C-terminal residues complements the otherwise lethal yeast TRG1/PDI1 null mutation, demonstrating functional disulfide isomerase activity and ER localization. Altogether, these results indicate that the PDI57 peptide contains ER localization determinants recognized by a conserved machinery present in D. discoideum and Saccharomyces cerevisiae.
