Abstract
We have cloned, from Acanthamoeba castellanii, the cDNA encoding a new member of the protein disulfide isomerase (PDI)-like protein family. The new PDI-like protein contains two highly conserved thioredeoxin-like domains, each about 100 amino acids in length. However, the A. castellanii PDI-like protein differs from other members in many aspects, including the overall organization and isoelectric point. Southern and Northern analyses demonstrate that the PDI-like protein is encoded by a single-copy gene which is transcribed to generate a 1500-nucleotide mRNA.
