A staphylococcal cyclophilin carries a single domain and unfolds via the formation of an intermediate that preserves cyclosporin A binding activity

S Seal, S Polley, S Sau - Plos one, 2019 - journals.plos.org
Cyclophilin (Cyp), a peptidyl-prolyl cis-trans isomerase (PPIase), acts as a virulence factor in
many bacteria including Staphylococcus aureus. The enzymatic activity of Cyp is inhibited …
