Protection by anti-beta-glucan antibodies is associated with restricted beta-1,3 glucan binding specificity and inhibition of fungal growth and adherence. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2009 Anti-beta-glucan antibodies elicited by a laminarin-conjugate vaccine confer cross-protection to mice challenged with major fungal pathogens such as Candida albicans, Aspergillus fumigatus and Cryptococcus neoformans.

Filamin-A is required for the incorporation of tissue factor into cell-derived microvesicles [PDF]
, 2013 We previously reported that the incorporation of tissue factor (TF) into cell-derived microvesicles (MVs) is regulated by the phosphorylation of the cytoplasmic domain of TF.

Pathogenic mutations in the hydrophobic core of the human prion protein can promote structural instability and misfolding [PDF]
, 2010 Transmissible spongiform encephalopathies, or prion diseases, are caused by misfolding and aggregation of the prion protein PrP. These diseases can be hereditary in humans and four of the many disease-associated missense mutants of PrP are in the ...

GPI anchor biosynthesis in yeast: phosphoethanolamine is attached to the α1,4-linked mannose of the complete precursor glycophospholipid [PDF]
, 2017 Cells synthesize the GPI anchor carbohydrate core by successively adding N-acetylglucosamine, three mannoses, and phosphoethanolamine (EtN-P) onto phosphatidylinositol, thus forming the complete GPI precursor lipid which is then added to proteins ...

Molecular dynamics as an approach to study prion protein misfolding and the effect of pathogenic mutations [PDF]
, 2011 Computer simulation of protein dynamics offers unique high-resolution information that complements experiment. Using experimentally derived structures of the natively folded prion protein (PrP), physically realistic dynamics and conformational changes ...

Targeting of the prion protein to the cytosol: mechanisms and consequences
, 2010 Prion diseases are characterized by the conformational transition of the cellular prion protein (PrPC) into an aberrant protein conformer, designated scrapie-prion protein (PrPSc).

AAV-based gene therapy ameliorated CNS-specific GPI defect in mouse models
Molecular Therapy: Methods & Clinical DevelopmentThirty genes are involved in the biosynthesis and modification of glycosylphosphatidylinositol (GPI)-anchored proteins, and defects in these genes cause inherited GPI deficiency (IGD).
