BMC Biology, 2021 Background The microtubule-associated protein tau forms aggregates in different neurodegenerative diseases called tauopathies. Prior work has shown that a single P301L mutation in tau gene, MAPT, can promote alternative tau folding pathways that ...

Innate Immune Status of Glia Modulates Prion Propagation in Early Stage of Infection
Cells, 2023 Prion diseases are progressive neurodegenerative disorders affecting humans and various mammals. The prominent neuropathological change in prion-affected brains is neuroinflammation, histopathologically characterized by reactive gliosis surrounding prion

Reorganization of Cell Compartmentalization Induced by Stress
Biomolecules, 2022 The discovery of intrinsically disordered proteins (IDPs) that do not have an ordered structure and nevertheless perform essential functions has opened a new era in the understanding of cellular compartmentalization.

Folding of a miniprotein with mixed fold [PDF]
The Journal of Chemical Physics, 2007 Using the 28 residue ββα protein FSD-EY as a target system, we examine correction terms for the ECEPP/3 force field. We find an increased probability of formation of the native state at low temperatures resulting from a reduced propensity to form α helices and increased formation of β sheets.

Folding of Proteins with Diverse Folds [PDF]
Biophysical Journal, 2006 Using parallel tempering simulations with high statistics, we investigate the folding and thermodynamic properties of three small proteins with distinct native folds: the all-helical 1RIJ, the all-sheet beta3s, and BBA5, which has a mixed helix-sheet fold.

Comprehensive Folding Variations for Protein Folding [PDF]
Proteins: Structure, Function, and Bioinformatics, 2022 The revelation of protein folding is a challenging subject in both discovery and description. Except acquirement of accurate 3D structure for protein stable state, another big hurdle is how to discover structural flexibility for protein innate character.

Susceptibility of Beavers to Chronic Wasting Disease
Biology, 2022 Chronic wasting disease (CWD) is a contagious, fatal, neurodegenerative prion disease of cervids. The expanding geographical range and rising prevalence of CWD are increasing the risk of pathogen transfer and spillover of CWD to non-cervid sympatric ...
