NonStd Res: ABA, AUX, DAL, MLE, MVA, SAR Activity: Peptidylprolyl isomerase, with EC number 5.2.1.8 Resources: FirstGlance, OCA, PDBe, RCSB, PDBsum, ProSAT Function [PPIF_HUMAN] PPIases accelerate the folding of proteins. It catalyzes the cis-trans isomerization of proline imidic peptide bonds in oligopeptides. Involved in regulation of the mitochondrial permeability transition pore (mPTP). It is proposed that its association with the mPTP is masking a binding site for inhibiting inorganic phosphate (Pi) and promotes the open probablity of the mPTP leading to apoptosis or necrosis; the requirement of the PPIase activity for this function is debated. In cooperation with mitochondrial TP53 is involved in activating oxidative stress-induced necrosis. Involved in modulation of mitochondrial membrane F(1)F(0) ATP synthase activity and regulation of mitochondrial matrix adenine nucleotide levels. Has anti-apoptotic activity independently of mPTP and in cooperation with BCL2 inhibits cytochrome c-dependent apoptosis. Publication Abstract from PubMed The mitochondrial permeability transition pore (PT pore) is a recognised drug target for neurodegenerative conditions such as multiple sclerosis (MS) and for ischaemia-reperfusion injury in the brain and heart. The peptidylprolyl isomerase, cyclophilin D (CypD, ppif) is a positive regulator of the pore and genetic downregulation or knockout improves outcomes in disease models. Current inhibitors of peptidylprolyl isomerases show no selectivity between the tightly conserved cyclophilin paralogs and exhibit significant off target effects, immune-suppression and toxicity. We therefore designed and synthesised a new mitochondrially-targeted CypD inhibitor, JW47, using a quinolinium cation tethered to cyclosporine (CsA). X-ray analysis was used to validate the design concept and biological evaluation revealed selective cellular inhibition of CypD and the PT pore with reduced cellular toxicity compared to CsA. In an experimental autoimmune encephalomyelitis disease model of neurodegeneration in multiple sclerosis (MS), JW47 demonstrated significant protection of axons and improved motor assessments with minimal immunosuppression. These findings suggest that selective CypD inhibition may represent a viable therapeutic strategy for MS and identify quinolinium as a mitochondrial targeting group for in vivo use. Selective inhibition of the mitochondrial permeability transition pore protects against neuro-degeneration in experimental multiple sclerosis.,Warne J, Pryce G, Hill J, Shi X, Lenneras F, Puentes F, Kip M, Hilditch L, Walker P, Simone MI, Chan AW, Towers GJ, Coker A, Duchen MR, Szabadkai G, Baker D, Selwood DL J Biol Chem. 2015 Dec 17. pii: jbc.M115.700385.
