Self-Templated Nucleation in Peptide and Protein aggregation

, 2008
Peptides and proteins exhibit a common tendency to assemble into highly ordered fibrillar aggregates, whose formation proceeds in a nucleation-dependent manner that is often preceded by the formation of disordered oligomeric assemblies.

Co‐localization of tau and TDP‐43 after extracellular vesicle delivery to cells

The FEBS Journal, EarlyView.
Extracellular vesicles (EVs) derived from donor cells transfected with EGFP–2N4R‐tau or mCherry‐wtTDP‐43 were taken up by recipient cells, leading to cytosolic co‐localization of tau and TDP‐43. Molecular modeling revealed that tau and TDP‐43 directly interact through hydrogen bonding, suggesting a mechanistic link underlying their co‐pathology ...

MAVS oligomerization drives a faster and more efficient antiviral signaling activation at peroxisomes compared to mitochondria

The FEBS Journal, EarlyView.
Cells rely on mitochondria and peroxisomes to trigger antiviral defenses via the protein MAVS. This manuscript demonstrates that the robust production of antiviral effectors resulting from MAVS activation at peroxisomes is faster than at mitochondria due to a swifter oligomerization of this protein at peroxisomal membranes. These results underscore the

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).

Redox environment modulates aggregation of ataxin‐3 in vitro — Implications for drug screening of cysteine‐rich proteins

The FEBS Journal, EarlyView.
Redox environment modulates in vitro aggregation of Ataxin‐3, the protein implicated in spinocerebellar ataxia type 3. Reducing conditions stabilize native monomers and prevent aggregation, whereas oxidative conditions promote the formation of non‐native conformers and disulfide‐linked oligomers within the Josephin domain (JD).

Molecular dynamics studies on the NMR and X-ray structures of rabbit prion protein wild-type and mutants

, 2013
Prion diseases are invariably fatal and highly infectious neurodegenerative diseases that affect a wide variety of mammalian species such as sheep, goats, mice, humans, chimpanzees, hamsters, cattle, elks, deer, minks, cats, chicken, pigs, turtles, etc ...

The Role of the Simulation in Supporting Newly Graduated Nurses in Their First 5 Months of Working Transition: Findings From a Mixed‐Method Study

Journal of Clinical Nursing, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Aims To understand the role of simulation in ensuring the development of the competencies expected by newly graduated register nurses (NGRNs) from the work initiation up to 5 months of transition. Methods Mixed‐method study design. A longitudinal phase employing the Nurse Competence Scale (NCS, from 0 to 100, excellent) to assess the perceived
