Protein Misfolding and Neurodegenerative Diseases
This special issue includes fifteen reviews and two original research articles by leading scientists in the fields of neu-ropathology, biochemistry, and cell biology, dealing with the role of protein aggregation and prion-like propagation of protein misfolding in neurodegenerative diseases. In the review article " Breaking the code of amyloid-í µí»½ oli-gomers, " available at the following link...
متن کاملProtein Folding and Misfolding: Neurodegenerative Diseases
Intrinsically disordered proteins or regions of proteins lack a well-defined structure, yet they carry out important functions often associated with the regulation of cell cycle and transcription. Due to these central roles in key cellular processes, their mutations are frequently involved in neurodegenerative diseases. These diseases are usually caused by the structural transition of disordere...
متن کامل-Synuclein Misfolding and Neurodegenerative Diseases
-Synuclein is an abundant presynaptic brain protein, misfolding, aggregation and fibrillation of which are implicated as critical factors in several neurodegenerative diseases. The list of the well-known synucleinopathies includes such devastating disorders as Parkinson’s disease, Lewy body variant of Alzheimer’s disease, diffuse Lewy body disease, dementia with Lewy bodies, multiple system atr...
متن کاملContext dependence of protein misfolding and structural strains in neurodegenerative diseases.
Vast arrays of structural forms are accessible to simple amyloid peptides and environmental conditions can direct assembly into single phases. These insights are now being applied to the aggregation of the Aβ peptide of Alzheimer's disease and the identification of causative phases. We extend use of the imaging agent Pittsburgh compound B to discriminate among Aβ phases and begin to define cond...
متن کاملProtein Misfolding and Axonal Protection in Neurodegenerative Diseases
Genetically engineered mouse model studies show that neuronal dysfunction caused by protein aggregation/misfolding are reversible, indicating that injured neurons are alive even under disease states. Protein misfolding/aggregation in axons and distal dominant axonal degeneration are observed in a subgroup of degenerative diseases and in certain experimental conditions. Moreover, therapeutic app...
