The Eps1p protein disulfide isomerase conserves classic thioredoxin superfamily amino acid motifs but not their functional geometries.

The widespread thioredoxin superfamily enzymes typically share the following features: a characteristic α-β fold, the presence of a Cys-X-X-Cys (or Cys-X-X-Ser) redox-active motif, and a proline in the cis configuration abutting the redox-active site in the tertiary structure. The Cys-X-X-Cys motif...
