Article Abstract
P5 is one of protein disulfide isomerase family proteins (PDIs) involved in endoplasmic reticulum (ER) protein quality control that assists oxidative folding, inhibits protein aggregation, and regulates the unfolded protein response. P5 reportedly interacts with other PDIs via intermolecular disulfide bonds in cultured cells, but it remains unclear whether complex formation between P5 and other PDIs is involved in regulating enzymatic and chaperone functions. Herein, we established the far-western blot method to detect non-covalent interactions between P5 and other PDIs and found that PDI and ERp72 are partner proteins of P5. The enzymatic activity of P5-mediated oxidative folding is up-regulated by PDI, while the chaperone activity of P5 is stimulated by ERp72. These findings shed light on the mechanism by which the complex formations among PDIs drive to synergistically accelerate protein folding and prevents aggregation. This knowledge has implications for understanding misfolding-related pathology.

Understanding the structural and functional diversity of toxin proteins is critical for elucidating macromolecular behavior, mechanistic variability, and structure-driven bioactivity. Traditional approaches have primarily focused on binary toxicity prediction, offering limited resolution into distinct modes of action of toxins. Here, we present MultiTox, an ensemble stacking framework for the classification of toxin proteins based on their molecular mode of action: neurotoxins, cytotoxins, hemotoxins, and enterotoxins.

Alzheimer's disease (AD) is a progressive neurodegenerative disorder characterised by cognitive decline and the accumulation of misfolded proteins, including amyloid-beta and hyperphosphorylated tau, which impair neuronal function and promote cell death. These misfolded proteins disrupt proteostasis by forming toxic aggregates that exacerbate disease progression. Molecular chaperones, such as heat shock proteins, actively maintain protein homeostasis by assisting in proper folding, preventing aggregation, and promoting the clearance of misfolded proteins.

d-Amino acid oxidase from (DAAO) is valuable for pharmaceutical and chemical synthesis due to its high enantioselectivity, but its poor thermostability limits extensive application. This study proposed a synergistic strategy of "sequence consensus design coupled with structure modification" to enhance DAAO thermostability. Through homologous sequence analysis and greedy algorithm-based optimization, a triple mutant M3 (S18T/V7I/Y132F) was obtained, showing a 3.

Intracellular trafficking of secretory and membrane proteins from the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) to the cell surface, via the secretory pathway, is crucial to the differentiated function of epithelial tissues. In the thyroid gland, a prerequisite for such trafficking is proper protein folding in the ER, assisted by an array of ER molecular chaperones. One of the most abundant of these chaperones, Glucose-Regulated-Protein-170 (GRP170, encoded by Hyou1), is a noncanonical hsp70-like family member.

Growing evidence links gut microbiota to neurodegenerative diseases, yet direct molecular interactions between bacterial and host amyloid proteins remain incompletely understood. Bacterial amyloids represent an understudied yet potentially critical component of gut-brain communication in neurodegeneration. Here, we provide the first investigation of whether amyloids formed by outer membrane proteins (OMPs) of enterobacteria can modulate neurodegeneration-associated protein aggregation.
