Dual roles for a tick protein disulfide isomerase during the life cycle of the Lyme disease agent

Dual roles for a tick protein disulfide isomerase during the life cycle of the Lyme disease agent

ABSTRACT The protein disulfide isomerase (PDI) family is a group of enzymes that have thiol-disulfide oxidoreductase, disulfide isomerase, and redox-dependent chaperone activities. PDIs facilitate diverse infections in mammalian hosts by directly binding to pathogens, immunomodulation, or enabling m...
