Escherichia coliperiplasm: coenzyme Q (bound to DsbB) connects thiol oxidation with the respiratory chain. Note series of redox-active disulfides. Arrows represent flow of electron pairs.
In yeast, two flavoproteins, Ero1p and Erv2p, can cooperate with PDI (flavin )
Yeast endoplasmic reticulum: flavin involved in at least two alternate pathways.

Multicellular organisms have additional options for inserting disulfide bonds
In humans: Ero1 and QSOX (Erv2p is absent).
Ero enzymes receive pairs of electrons from client proteins undergoing oxidative protein folding. PDI serves as a mediator.
QSOX enzymes insert disulfides directly into the client proteins. PDI functions later.
PDI acts both as a disulfide oxidoreductase and a disulfide isomerase (shuffling incorrect –S-S- bonds in a redox-neutral way).

The first crystal structure of a sulfhydryl oxidase was of yeast Erv2p (Gross et al., 2002)
The numbered steps are shown above and to the left
1. Input of 2-electrons from substrate by disulfide exchange.
2. A series of internal disulfide exchanges (here just one) leads to reduction of the disulfide proximal to the flavin (FAD).
3. Two-electron reduction of the flavin.
4. Reoxidation of reduced flavin by molecular oxygen generating H2O2
and reforming oxidized enzyme.
