Function
[DSBD_ECOLI] Required to facilitate the formation of correct disulfide bonds in some periplasmic proteins and for the assembly of the periplasmic c-type cytochromes. Acts by transferring electrons from cytoplasmic thioredoxin to the periplasm, thereby maintaining the active site of DsbC, DsbE and DsbG in a reduced state. This transfer involves a cascade of disulfide bond formation and reduction steps.[HAMAP-Rule:MF_00399]
Publication Abstract from PubMed
Bacterial growth and pathogenicity depend on the correct formation of disulfide bonds, a process controlled by the Dsb system in the periplasm of Gram-negative bacteria. Proteins with a thioredoxin fold play a central role in this process. A general feature of thiol-disulfide exchange reactions is the need to avoid a long lived product complex between protein partners. We use a multidisciplinary approach, involving NMR, x-ray crystallography, surface plasmon resonance, mutagenesis, and in vivo experiments, to investigate the interaction between the two soluble domains of the transmembrane reductant conductor DsbD. Our results show oxidation state-dependent affinities between these two domains. These observations have implications for the interactions of the ubiquitous thioredoxin-like proteins with their substrates, provide insight into the key role played by a unique redox partner with an immunoglobulin fold, and are of general importance for oxidative protein-folding pathways in all organisms.
