Designed proteins to modulate cellular networks.
A major challenge of protein design is to create useful new proteins that interact specifically with biological targets in living cells. Such binding modules have many potential applications, including the targeted perturbation of protein networks. As a general approach to create such modules, we designed a library with approximately 10(9) different binding specificities based on a small 3-tetr...
متن کاملMembrane-targeted strategies for modulating APP and Aβ-mediated toxicity
Alzheimer's disease (AD) is a progressive neurodegenerative disease characterized by numerous pathological features including the accumulation of neurotoxic amyloid-beta (Abeta) peptide. There is currently no effective therapy for AD, but the development of therapeutic strategies that target the cell membrane is gaining increased interest. The amyloid precursor protein (APP) from which Abeta is...
متن کاملIndividual susceptibility to toxicity.
Individual variation in susceptibility to chemical toxicity may be due to differences in toxicokinetic patterns or effect modification. Well-documented interspecies genetic differences in susceptibility to chemicals had lead to studies of such variation also within species. Epidemiological evidence now suggests that common variations, particularly in the P-450 enzymes, may play a major role in ...
متن کاملSusceptibility to lead toxicity.
Adverse effects of lead on human health have been recognized for centuries. Nevertheless , current public health measures require a greater understanding of the pathobiology of chronic low level exposure (1-3). Such considerations are related to the question of what level of lead intake is harmful and why specific clinical manifestations of lead poisoning are encountered under particular circum...
متن کاملSleep Interacts with Aβ to Modulate Intrinsic Neuronal Excitability
BACKGROUND Emerging data suggest an important relationship between sleep and Alzheimer's disease (AD), but how poor sleep promotes the development of AD remains unclear. RESULTS Here, using a Drosophila model of AD, we provide evidence suggesting that changes in neuronal excitability underlie the effects of sleep loss on AD pathogenesis. β-amyloid (Aβ) accumulation leads to reduced and fragme...
