The protein disulfide isomerase (PDI) family member ERp46/endoPDI/thioredoxin domain-containing protein 5 is preferentially expressed in a limited number of tissues, where it may function as a survival factor for nitrosative stress in vivo. It is involved in insulin production as well as in adiponectin signaling and interacts specifically with the redox-regulatory endoplasmic reticulum proteins endoplasmic oxidoreductin 1¦Á (Ero1¦Á) and peroxiredoxin-4. Here, we show that ERp46, although lacking a PDI-like redox-inactive b¡ä-thioredoxin domain with its hydrophobic substrate binding site, is able to bind to a large pool of peptides containing aromatic and basic residues via all three of its catalytic domains (a0, a and a¡ä), though the a0 domain may contain the primary binding site. ERp46, which shows relatively higher activity as a disulfide-reductase than as an oxidase/isomerase in vitro compared to PDI and ERp57, possesses chaperone activity in vivo, a property also shared by the C-terminal a¡ä domain. A crystal structure of the a¡ä domain is also presented, offering a view of possible substrate binding sites within catalytic domains of PDI proteins.
