Abstract

The chicken FK506-binding protein FKBP65, a peptidylprolyl cis-trans isomerase, is a rough endoplasmic reticulum protein that contains four domains homologous to FKBP13, another rough endoplasmic reticulum PPIase. Analytical ultracentrifugation suggests that in FKBP65 these four domains are arranged in a linear extended structure with a length of about 26 nm and a diameter of about 3 nm. All four domains are therefore expected to be accessible to substrates. The specificity of FKBP65 towards a number of peptide substrates was determined. The specific activity of FKBP65 is generally lower than that of FKBP12 when expressed as a per domain activity. The substrate specificity of FKBP65 also differs from that of FKBP12. Inhibition studies show that only one of the four domains can be inhibited by FK506, a powerful inhibitor of all other known FKBPs. Furthermore, the same domain seems to be susceptible to inhibition by cyclosporin A. No other FKBPs were shown to be inhibited by cyclosporin A. It is also shown that FKBP65 can catalyse the re-folding of type III collagen in vitro with a kcat/Km = 4.3 x 10(3) M-1.s-1.
