Elucidating the fine structure of amyloid fibrils as well as understanding their processes of nucleation and growth remains a difficult yet essential challenge, directly linked to our current poor insight into protein misfolding and aggregation diseases. H ...
We have generated a novel transgenic mouse model on a C57BL/ 6J genetic background that coexpresses KM670/ 671NL mutated amyloid precursor protein and L166P mutated presenilin 1 under the control of a neuron- specific Thy1 promoter element ( APPPS1 mice). ...
Several amyloid-forming proteins are characterized by the presence of hydrophobic and highly amyloidogenic core sequences that play critical roles in the initiation and progression of amyloid fibril formation. Therefore targeting these sequences represents ...
The heat shock protein Hsp104 has been reported to possess the ability to modulate protein aggregation and toxicity and to "catalyze" the disaggregation and recovery of protein aggregates, including amyloid fibrils, in yeast, Escherichia coli, mammalian ce ...
Protein fibrillization is implicated in the pathogenesis of most, if not all, age-associated neurodegenerative diseases, but the mechanism(s) by which it triggers neuronal death is unknown. Reductionist in vitro studies suggest that the amyloid protofibril ...
In Alzheimer's disease, microglia cluster around beta-amyloid deposits, suggesting that these cells are important for amyloid plaque formation, maintenance and/or clearance. We crossed two distinct APP transgenic mouse strains with CD11b-HSVTK mice, in whi ...
Aggregation and fibril formation of amyloid-β (Aβ) peptides play a pivotal role in the pathogenesis of Alzheimer's disease (AD). Aβ peptides, principally comprising of 40 or 42 amino acid residues (Aβ40 and Aβ42), are produced by proteolytic processing of ...
The aggregation of proteins is central to many aspects of daily life, including food processing, blood coagulation, eye cataract formation disease and prion-related neurodegenerative infections[1–5]. However, the physical mechanisms responsible for amyloid ...
Incorrect folding of proteins, leading to aggregation and amyloid formation, is associated with a group of degenerative diseases including Alzheimer's disease and late onset diabetes. Amyloid forming proteins are believed to be mainly α-helical in their na ...
Formation of amyloid-beta (A beta)(1-42) amyloid fibrils, a characteristic feature of Alzheimer's disease (AD), was monitored in situ through atomic force microscopy (AFM). Well-structured amyloid fibrils slowly formed in solution within 24 hours for which ...
