MARK4 enhances stress granule formation under oxidative stress and increases tau accumulation

FEBS Open Bio, EarlyView.
MARK4 (red dots) localizes to stress granules (orange dots) and promotes their formation under oxidative stress by modulating TIA1 (blue dots). MARK4 and TIA1 synergistically increase tau (purple) accumulation, and the reduction of the TIA1 ortholog suppresses neurodegeneration in a fly model.

Aspects of prion protein dynamics in cell culture models. [PDF]

, 2005
The cell biology of Prion formation and transfer is not well understood. In order to further elucidate the dynamics of PrPc and PrPsc in a cellular context, fusions between Green Fluorescent Protein (GFP) and PrP were constructed and infected/uninfected ...

Comprehensive Characterization of 98 Chinese Cases of Genetic Creutzfeldt‐Jakob Disease With T188K Mutation

Annals of Clinical and Translational Neurology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Objective To characterize the demographic, clinical, and laboratory features of the Chinese patients of genetic Creutzfeldt‐Jakob disease with T188K variant (T188K‐gCJD), the most common subtype of genetic prion diseases (gPrDs) in China. Methods In this nationwide retrospective study, data from 98 genetically confirmed T188K‐gCJD patients ...

Effect of enzymatic deimination on the conformation of recombinant prion protein [PDF]

, 2009
Deimination is the post-translational conversion of arginine residues to citrulline. It has been implicated as a causative factor in autoimmune diseases such as multiple sclerosis and rheumatoid arthritis and more recently, as a marker of ...

Characterizing Cutaneous α‐Synuclein Deposition and Seeding Activity in Parkinson's Disease Subtypes

Annals of Clinical and Translational Neurology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Objective Cutaneous phosphorylated α‐synuclein (p‐syn) and α‐synuclein seeding activity are promising biomarkers for Parkinson's disease (PD), but their clinical value remains uncertain due to disease heterogeneity. This study evaluates these two biomarkers in PD patients to inform phenotype‐specific diagnosis and disease severity assessment ...

Prion degradation pathways: Potential for therapeutic intervention [PDF]

, 2015
Prion diseases are fatal neurodegenerative disorders. Pathology is closely linked to the misfolding of native cellular PrP(C) into the disease-associated form PrP(Sc) that accumulates in the brain as disease progresses. Although treatments have yet to be

Raman optical activity demonstrates poly(L-proline) II helix in the N-terminal region of the ovine prion protein: Implications for function and misfunction [PDF]

, 2004
The aqueous solution structure of the full-length recombinant ovine prion protein PrP25-233, together with that of the N-terminal truncated version PrP94-233, have been studied using vibrational Raman optical activity (ROA) and ultraviolet circular ...

Preserving Proton Resolution Under Cryogenic Dynamic Nuclear Polarization for Biomolecular Solid‐State NMR

Angewandte Chemie, EarlyView.
High‐resolution proton detection is preserved under cryogenic dynamic nuclear polarization (DNP) by combining fast MAS, extensive deuteration and selective methyl protonation. This strategy enables proton‐detected structural studies of biomolecular solids with enhanced sensitivity under DNP conditions.

Prion protein inhibits fast axonal transport through a mechanism involving casein kinase 2. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2017
Prion diseases include a number of progressive neuropathies involving conformational changes in cellular prion protein (PrPc) that may be fatal sporadic, familial or infectious.

Structural Polymorphism of polyG Inclusions Revealed by In Situ Cryo‐Electron Tomography

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Correlative cryo‐electron tomography in primary cortical neurons and NIID mouse brain tissue reveals that polyG inclusions are interconnected ribbon‐like assemblies rather than canonical amyloid fibrils. Multiple compartment‐specific ribbon states show distinct 26S proteasome accessibility, while cytoplasmic ribbons contact and deform ER‐like ...
