Functional amyloids in insect immune response
Insect Biochemistry and Molecular Biology, 2012The innate immune system of insects consists of humoural and cellular responses that provide protection against invading pathogens and parasites. Defence reactions against these latter include encapsulation by immune cells and targeted melanin deposition, which is usually restricted to the surface of the foreign invader, to prevent systemic damage ...

Supramolecular photochirogenesis with functional amyloid superstructures
Chemical Communications, 2013Chiral variants of amyloid fibrils prepared by agitating acidified solutions of bovine insulin at 45 °C not only induced quasi-mirror-imaged circular dichroism spectra upon complexation with 2-anthracenecarboxylate but also gave anti-head-to-head-cyclodimers of the opposite absolute configurations upon photoirradiation.

Unraveling the Role of Functional Amyloids and Amyloid Peptides in Disease Detection
Protein & Peptide LettersAmyloid refers to a specific quaternary structure characterized by fibrillar arrangements of proteins or peptides forming cross β-sheet architectures. Initially associated with diseases like Alzheimer's, amyloid was seen predominantly as pathological.

Bap: A New Type of Functional Amyloid
Trends in Microbiology, 2016Bacteria can build a biofilm matrix scaffold from exopolysaccharides or proteins, and DNA. In a recent report, Taglialegna and colleagues show that pathogenic Staphylococcus aureus produces a protein scaffold based on amyloid assembly of fragments from the biofilm-associated protein. Amyloidogenesis occurs in response to environmental signals.

Functional amyloid aggregation
2010Protein amyloid aggregation is generally considered undesirable and harmful. Anyway, this is not always true. This book covers the most relevant examples of functional amyloid aggregation, from microbes to man.
