The action of PPIases leads to changes in protein conformation (Takahashi, 1999) , but the binding of CsA and FK506 to CyP and FKBP, respectively, inhibits the activity of these enzymes (Fischer et al. The CsA/CyP or FK506/FKBP complex, subsequently interacts with and inhibits calcineurin (CN), a phosphatase involved in the activation of the transcription factor NF-AT. Members of the CyP family play roles in a variety of cellular processes including the immune response, transcription, mitochondrial function, cell death, and chemotaxis, as described below. However, the best-characterized role identified for CyPA is not in normal cellular physiology, but rather as co-factor during the human immunodefi ciency virus-1 (HIV-1) viral life cycle (See below). ./cache/cord-293653-u2qrxq6t.txt ./txt/cord-293653-u2qrxq6t.txt
