Protein disulfide isomerase does not act as an unfoldase in the disassembly of cholera toxin.

Abstract:

:Cholera toxin (CT) is composed of a disulfide-linked A1/A2 heterodimer and a ring-like, cell-binding B homopentamer. The catalytic A1 subunit must dissociate from CTA2/CTB5 to manifest its cellular activity. Reduction of the A1/A2 disulfide bond is required for holotoxin disassembly, but reduced CTA1 does not spontaneously separate from CTA2/CTB5: protein disulfide isomerase (PDI) is responsible for displacing CTA1 from its non-covalent assembly in the CT holotoxin. Contact with PDI shifts CTA1 from a protease-resistant conformation to a protease-sensitive conformation, which is thought to represent the PDI-mediated unfolding of CTA1. Based solely on this finding, PDI is widely viewed as an 'unfoldase' that triggers toxin disassembly by unfolding the holotoxin-associated A1 subunit. In contrast with this unfoldase model of PDI function, we report the ability of PDI to render CTA1 protease-sensitive is unrelated to its role in toxin disassembly. Multiple conditions that promoted PDI-induced protease sensitivity in CTA1 did not support PDI-mediated disassembly of the CT holotoxin. Moreover, preventing the PDI-induced shift in CTA1 protease sensitivity did not affect PDI-mediated disassembly of the CT holotoxin. Denatured PDI could still convert CTA1 into a protease-sensitive state, and equal or excess molar fractions of PDI were required for both efficient conversion of CTA1 into a protease-sensitive state and efficient disassembly of the CT holotoxin. These observations indicate the 'unfoldase' property of PDI does not play a functional role in CT disassembly and does not represent an enzymatic activity.
