Agrin binds -synuclein and modulates -synuclein fibrillation
Recent studies have begun to investigate the role of agrin in brain and suggest that agrin’s function likely extends beyond that of a synaptogenic protein. Particularly, it has been shown that agrin is associated with the pathological lesions of Alzheimer’s disease (AD) and may contribute to the formation of -amyloid (A ) plaques in AD. We have extended the analysis of agrin’s function in neuro...
متن کاملGenerating Random Numbers in Hostile Environments
This paper discusses basic security aspects of distributed random number generation in potentially hostile environments. The goal is to outline and discuss a distributed approach, which comes to question in the case of attacker being able to target one or several mobile devices. We define communication paths and attacker models instead of providing technical details of local generation. This pa...
متن کاملMicroRNA-101 Modulates Autophagy and Oligodendroglial Alpha-Synuclein Accumulation in Multiple System Atrophy
Synucleinopathies, neurodegenerative disorders with alpha-synuclein (α-syn) accumulation, are the second leading cause of neurodegeneration in the elderly, however no effective disease-modifying alternatives exist for these diseases. Multiple system atrophy (MSA) is a fatal synucleinopathy characterized by the accumulation of toxic aggregates of α-syn within oligodendroglial cells, leading to d...
متن کاملα-Synuclein leaves autophagy feeling compromised
I f the spindle isn't aligned properly, the spindle position checkpoint (SPOC) pauses mitosis so that the cell can make adjustments. Caydasi et al. identify a master switch for the checkpoint. When a yeast cell begins to bud, the SPOC detects whether the spindle has lined up parallel to the bud–mother cell axis. One of the main SPOC proteins is the kinase Kin4. What controls its activity is unc...
متن کاملATP13A2 and Alpha-synuclein: a Metal Taste in Autophagy
Parkinson's Disease (PD) is a complex and multifactorial disorder of both idiopathic and genetic origin. Thus far, more than 20 genes have been linked to familial forms of PD. Two of these genes encode for ATP13A2 and alpha-synuclein (asyn), proteins that seem to be members of a common network in both physiological and disease conditions. Thus, two different hypotheses have emerged supporting a...
