Tauopathies: recent insights into old diseases.
Neurofibrillary tangles are brain lesions that have been discovered at the beginning of the 20th century, using histological silver staining. Tangles are intra-neuronal hallmarks of a degenerating process: neurofibrillary degeneration (NFD). The basic component involved in tangle formation is tau protein. Tangles are found in more than 20 different neurodegenerative disorders, suggesting that N...
متن کاملPeroxisome biogenesis and positioning.
Plant peroxisomes are extremely dynamic, moving and undergoing changes of shape in response to metabolic and environmental signals. Matrix proteins are imported via one of two import pathways, depending on the targeting signal within the protein. Each pathway has a specific receptor but utilizes common membrane-bound translocation machinery. Current models invoke receptor recycling, which may i...
متن کاملPeroxisome biogenesis and human peroxisome-deficiency disorders
Peroxisome is a single-membrane-bounded ubiquitous organelle containing a hundred different enzymes that catalyze various metabolic pathways such as β-oxidation of very long-chain fatty acids and synthesis of plasmalogens. To investigate peroxisome biogenesis and human peroxisome biogenesis disorders (PBDs) including Zellweger syndrome, more than a dozen different complementation groups of Chin...
متن کاملInsights into role of microRNAs in cardiac development, cardiac diseases, and developing novel therapies
Objective(s): MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are a subfamily of small noncoding RNAs that play a variety of roles in regulating gene expression in nearly all organisms. They affect different biological pathways by post-transcriptionally regulating mRNAs. Aside from miRNAs’ role in maintaining cellular homeostasis, their perturbation is related to several pathologic states and dis...
متن کاملAtomic Resolution Insights into Curli Fiber Biogenesis
Bacteria produce functional amyloid fibers called curli in a controlled, noncytotoxic manner. These extracellular fimbriae enable biofilm formation and promote pathogenicity. Understanding curli biogenesis is important for appreciating microbial lifestyles and will offer clues as to how disease-associated human amyloid formation might be ameliorated. Proteins encoded by the curli specific genes...
