Secondary nucleating sequences affect kinetics and thermodynamics of tau aggregation.
Tau protein was scanned for highly amyloidogenic sequences in amphiphilic motifs (X)(n)Z, Z(X)(n)Z (n ≥ 2), or (XZ)(n) (n ≥ 2), where X is a hydrophobic residue and Z is a charged or polar residue. N-Acetyl peptides homologous to these sequences were used to study aggregation. Transmission electron microscopy (TEM) showed seven peptides, in addition to well-known primary nucleating sequences Ac...
متن کاملChemical properties of lipids strongly affect the kinetics of the membrane-induced aggregation of α-synuclein.
Intracellular α-synuclein deposits, known as Lewy bodies, have been linked to a range of neurodegenerative disorders, including Parkinson's disease. α-Synuclein binds to synthetic and biological lipids, and this interaction has been shown to play a crucial role for both α-synuclein's native function, including synaptic plasticity, and the initiation of its aggregation. Here, we describe the int...
متن کاملAggregation kinetics of popularity
The tools of aggregation kinetics are applied to the “popularity” phenomena of single-lane tra)c clustering, and to the growth of a network that mimics citations of scienti+c publications. In the latter, the network is built by introducing papers (new nodes) one at a time, with preferential linking to more popular previously existing nodes. From the rate equations, the distribution of node degr...
متن کامل'Nature-inspired' drug-protein complexes as inhibitors of Abeta aggregation.
Protein-protein interactions are a regulatory mechanism for a number of physiological and pathological cellular processes. Neurodegenerative diseases, such as AD (Alzheimer's disease), are associated with the accelerated production or delayed clearance of protein aggregates. Hence, inhibition of pathologic protein-protein interactions is a very attractive mechanism for drug development. This re...
