Protein disulfide-isomerase A6 (PDIA6)

The protein contains 440 amino acids for an estimated molecular weight of 48121 Da.

 

May function as a chaperone that inhibits aggregation of misfolded proteins (PubMed:12204115). Negatively regulates the unfolded protein response (UPR) through binding to UPR sensors such as ERN1, which in turn inactivates ERN1 signaling (PubMed:24508390). May also regulate the UPR via the EIF2AK3 UPR sensor (PubMed:24508390). Plays a role in platelet aggregation and activation by agonists such as convulxin, collagen and thrombin (PubMed:15466936).

Protein disulfide isomerase, family a, member 6; pdia6
P5
Endoplasmic reticulum protein 5; erp5

DESCRIPTION

Protein disulfide isomerases (EC 5.3.4.1), such as PDIA6, are endoplasmic reticulum (ER) resident proteins that catalyze formation, reduction, and isomerization of disulfide bonds in proteins and are thought to play a role in folding of disulfide-bonded proteins (Hayano and Kikuchi, 1995).

CLONING

By screening a placenta cDNA library with a PDI (P4HB; 176790) cDNA fragment, Hayano and Kikuchi (1995) cloned PDIA6, which they called P5. The deduced 440-amino acid protein has a calculated molecular mass of 48.1 kD. It has a putative N-terminal signal sequence, followed by 2 thioredoxin (TXN; 187700)-like domains and a C-terminal ER retention signal (KDEL). Chaudhuri et al. (1992) found that mouse P5 showed highest expression in lung, with progressively lower levels in kidney, heart, liver, and brain.

GENE FUNCTION

Chaudhuri et al. (1992) showed that P5, Rrm2 (180410), and Odc1 (154640) were coamplified in hamster cells resistant to hydroxyurea, a potent inhibitor of ribonucleotide reductase. Since P5, RRM2, and ODC1 are closely linked in the hamster and human genomes, Chaudhuri et al. (1992) hypothesized that they may form an amplicon. Kikuchi et al. (2002) found that recombinant human P5 had both isomerase and chaperone activities, but both activities were lower than those of human PDI. P5 showed peptide-binding activity, and its chaperone activity appeared to be substrate specific. Mutation analysis revealed that the first thioredoxin-like motif of P5 was more important than the second for isomerase activity, and that the first cysteine in each motif was necessary for isomerase activity. Thioredoxin motif mutants of P5 lacking isomerase activity retained chaperone activity with citrate synthase (CS; 118950) as substrate, indicating that, like PDI, the isomerase and chaperone activities of P5 are likely independent. Kaiser et al. (2007) showed that on the surface of tumor cells, MICA (600169) associates with ERP5, which, similar to protein disulfide isomerase (176790), usually assists in the folding of nascent proteins inside cells. Pharmacologic inhibition of thioreductase activity and ERP5 gene silencing revealed that cell-surface ERP5 function is required for MICA shedding. ERP5 and membrane-anchored MICA formed transitory mixed disulfide complexes from which soluble MICA was released after proteolytic cleavage near the cell membrane. Kaiser et al. (2007) suggested that reduction of the seemingly inaccessible disulfide bond in the membrane-proximal alpha-3 domain of MICA must involve a large conformational change that enables proteolytic cleavage. They concluded that their results uncovered a molecular mechanism whereby domain-specific deconstruction regulates MICA protein shedding, thereby promoting tumor immune evasion, and identified surface ERP5 as a strategic target for therapeutic intervention.

MAPPING

By in situ hybridization, Yang-Feng et al. (1987) mapped the PDIA6 gene to chromosome 2p25-p24.

ANIMAL MODEL

The zebrafish 'one-eyed pinhead' (oep) mutation is characterized by multiple deficiencies in midline development and a morphologically normal notochord. Hoshijima et al. (2002) found that P5 was expressed predominantly in the axial mesoderm of midgastrula wildtype embryos and was significantly downregulated in oep mutants. Functional analysis demonstrated that P5 was specifically involved in lateral patterning. Depletion of P5 protein with antisense morpholin ... More on the omim web site
