Abstract in another language

The prolyl isomerase activity of cyclophilins is traditionally measured by an assay in which prolyl cis/trans isomerization in a chromogenic tetrapeptide is coupled with its isomer-specific cleavage by chymotrypsin. Two variants of mitochondrial cyclophilin with substitutions in the presumed active site (R73A and H144Q) are inactive in the protease-coupled assay, but show almost wild-type activity in an assay that is based on the catalysis of a proline-limited protein folding reaction. This prolyl isomerase assay is preferable, both because coupling with proteolysis is avoided and because an intact protein instead of a short peptide is used as a substrate. Possibly, some earlier conclusions about the catalytic mechanism and the involvement of the prolyl isomerase activity in the cellular function of immunophilins may need reevaluation.
