Role of Protein Aggregation in Neurodegenerative Diseases
Proteins and peptides are essential complex macromolecules of organisms and participate in actually every process within cells. Three dimensional structures of proteins play a critical role for biological functions. Therefore, they must be properly folded for performing these functions. Three dimensional structures are determined by composition of amino acid se‐ quence. In addition to hydrophob...
متن کاملProtein aggregation and degradation mechanisms in neurodegenerative diseases.
Neurodegenerative diseases are characterized by selective neuronal vulnerability and neurodegeneration in specific brain regions. The pathogenesis of these disorders centrally involves abnormal accumulation and aggregation of specific proteins, which are deposited in intracellular inclusions or extracellular aggregates that are characteristic for each disease. Increasing evidence suggests that ...
متن کاملProtein Aggregation , the Ubiquitin - Proteasome System and Neurodegenerative Diseases
P rotein aggregation is thought to be the pathological driving force responsible for neurodegenerative disorders such as Alzheimer’s, Parkinson’s, Huntington’s and prion diseases. However, it is not yet clear whether, or to what extent, the misfolded proteins are the cause of the disease rather than the consequence. The aggregated proteins that are characteristic of these diseases have in commo...
متن کاملProtein aggregation, metals and oxidative stress in neurodegenerative diseases.
There is clear evidence implicating oxidative stress in the pathology of many different neurodegenerative diseases. ROS (reactive oxygen species) are the primary mediators of oxidative stress and many of the aggregating proteins and peptides associated with neurodegenerative disease can generate hydrogen peroxide, a key ROS, apparently through interactions with redox-active metal ions. Our rece...
متن کاملThe Relationship between Parkin and Protein Aggregation in Neurodegenerative Diseases
The most prominent changes in neurodegenerative diseases are protein accumulation and inclusion formation. Several neurodegenerative diseases, including Alzheimer's, the Synucleinopathies and Tauopathies share several overlapping clinical symptoms manifest in Parkinsonism, cognitive decline and dementia. As degeneration progresses in the disease process, clinical symptoms suggest convergent pat...
