Influence of pH and sequence in peptide aggregation via molecular simulation [PDF]

open access: yes, 2015
We employ a recently developed coarse-grained model for peptides and proteins where the effect of pH is automatically included. We explore the effect of pH in the aggregation process of the amyloidogenic peptide KTVIIE and two related sequences, using ...

Exploring Linalool‐Based Phytotherapy for Excitatory/Inhibitory Imbalance in Alzheimer's Disease: A Review of Lavender and Cannabis Therapeutic Effects on Sleep, Seizures, and Cognition

open access: yesPhytotherapy Research, EarlyView.
Schematic overview of the proposed neuromodulatory actions of linalool in Alzheimer's disease. Through multi‐target effects on oxidative stress, amyloid aggregation, GABAergic and glutamatergic signaling, linalool may restore excitatory/inhibitory balance.

IgG Conformer's Binding to Amyloidogenic Aggregates. [PDF]

open access: yesPLoS ONE, 2015
Amyloid-reactive IgGs isolated from pooled blood of normal individuals (pAbs) have demonstrated clinical utility for amyloid diseases by in vivo targeting and clearing amyloidogenic proteins and peptides.

Arabidopsis thaliana Plant Natriuretic Peptide Active Domain Forms Amyloid-like Fibrils in a pH-Dependent Manner

open access: yesPlants, 2021
Plant natriuretic peptides (PNPs) are hormones that have been extracted from many different species, with the Arabidopsis thaliana PNP (AtPNP-A) being the most studied among them.

The potential role of dietary polyphenols in Parkinson’s disease [PDF]

open access: yes, 2011
Cumulative evidence now suggests that the abnormal aggregation of the neuronal protein alpha-synuclein is critically involved in the pathogenesis of synucleinopathies, of which Parkinson’s disease (PD) is the most prevalent. Development of neuropathology

Role of the fast kinetics of pyroglutamate-modified amyloid-β oligomers in membrane binding and membrane permeability. [PDF]

open access: yes, 2014
Membrane permeability to ions and small molecules is believed to be a critical step in the pathology of Alzheimer's disease (AD). Interactions of oligomers formed by amyloid-β (Aβ) peptides with the plasma cell membrane are believed to play a fundamental

Amyloidogenic Protein–Membrane Interactions: Mechanistic Insight from Model Systems [PDF]

open access: yesAngewandte Chemie International Edition, 2010
AbstractThe toxicity of amyloid‐forming proteins is correlated with their interactions with cell membranes. Binding events between amyloidogenic proteins and membranes result in mutally disruptive structural perturbations, which are associated with toxicity. Membrane surfaces promote the conversion of amyloid‐forming proteins into toxic aggregates, and

Enhancing antitumour response to proteasome inhibitors with inhibitors of insulin‐degrading enzyme, a new molecular vulnerability in multiple myeloma

open access: yesBritish Journal of Pharmacology, EarlyView.
Inhibitors of insulin‐degrading enzyme boost PI cytotoxicity through an increased sensitivity of proteasome to PI inhibitors, induction of ISR, DNA damage and Myc down‐regulation. They overcome PI resistance in vitro and induce tumour regression in vivo.

Lithium alters expression of RNAs in a type-specific manner in differentiated human neuroblastoma neuronal cultures, including specific genes involved in Alzheimer's disease. [PDF]

open access: yes, 2019
Lithium (Li) is a medication long-used to treat bipolar disorder. It is currently under investigation for multiple nervous system disorders, including Alzheimer's disease (AD).

Uncovering a previously unknown function of polyphosphate in polyadenylated RNA‐induced amyloidogenesis of Hfq

open access: yesThe FEBS Journal, EarlyView.
Polyphosphate interaction with Hfq and RNA drives phase separation and amyloid self‐assembly, uncovering a previously unrecognized role for polyP in bacterial stress responses. Our findings reveal new insights into the molecular mechanisms of RNA‐mediated phase separation, highlighting the role of polyP as a key modulator of this process. Polyphosphate
