Abstract EN
S-Glutathionylation of cysteine residues within target proteins is a posttranslational modification that alters structure and function.
We have shown that S-glutathionylation of protein disulfide isomerase (PDI) disrupts protein folding and leads to the activation of the unfolded protein response (UPR).
PDI is a molecular chaperone for estrogen receptor alpha (ERα).
Our present data show in breast cancer cells that S-glutathionylation of PDI interferes with its chaperone activity and abolishes its capacity to form a complex with ERα.
Such drug treatment also reverses estradiol-induced upregulation of c-Myc, cyclinD1, and P21Cip, gene products involved in cell proliferation.
Expression of an S-glutathionylation refractory PDI mutant diminishes the toxic effects of PABA/NO.
Thus, redox regulation of PDI causes its S-glutathionylation, thereby mediating cell death through activation of the UPR and abrogation of ERα stability and signaling.
