Function

Peptidyl-prolyl cis-trans isomerase (PPIase) interconverts cis and trans isomers of proline. PPIase functions as a protein folding chaperone.

  • PPIase Pin1 isomerizes phospho-serine/threonine proline motifs[1]. The deregulation of Pin1 may be involved in cancer and Alzheimer Disease. Pin1 consists of 2 domains: the WW domain recognizes the pSer/pThr Pro motif and the PPIase domain contains the catalytic site.
  • PPIase PinA is an archaeal parvulin-like PPIase.
  • PPIase Mip (macrophage infectivity potentiator) is required for optimal infection of macrophages by some parasites[2].
  • PPIase SlyD acts as a chaperone and speeds up protein folding.
  • PPIase SlpA is a 2-domain protein containing an FK506-binding domain and a PPIase domain and a small insert-in-flap domain which acts as a chaperone[3].

Disease

Mutations in PPIase genes are associated with age-related diseases like cardiovascular diseases, atherosclerosis, diabetes type II, chronic kidney disease, neurodegredation, cancer and age-related macular degeneration[4].
