Metallothioneins in Prion- and Amyloid-Related Diseases
Journal of Alzheimer's Disease, 2016Prion and other amyloid-forming diseases represent a group of neurodegenerative disorders that affect both animals and humans. The role of metal ions, especially copper and zinc is studied intensively in connection with these diseases. Their involvement in protein misfolding and aggregation and their role in creation of reactive oxygen species have ...

Molecular and chemical basis of prion-related diseases
Chemical Society Reviews, 1997Prion-related diseases include scrapie in sheep, bovine spongiform encephalopathy in cattle and Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease in humans. The infectious agent for these diseases surprisingly contains no nucleic acid, but is a protein(PrP) which exists in two conformations, PrPC and PrPSc.

Amyloid in alzheimer's disease and prion-related encephalopathies: Studies with synthetic peptides
Progress in Neurobiology, 1996Deposition of amyloid-beta protein (beta A) in brain parenchyma and vessel walls is a major pathological feature of Alzheimer's disease (AD). In prion-related encephalopathies (PRE), too, an altered form of prion protein (PrPsc) forms amyloid fibrils and accumulates in the brain.

The prion protein can exist both in a normal cellular isoform and in a pathogenic conformational isoform. The latter is responsible for the development of different neurodegenerative diseases, for example Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease or fatal familial insomnia.

Mouse Models of Prion Protein Related Diseases
2011Prion protein (PrP) related diseases are a heterogeneous group of fatal neurodegenerative conditions featuring aberrancies in the metabolism of the cellular prion protein (PrPC) that lead to the formation of neurotoxic or propagative conformers. Commonly referred to as transmissible spongiform encephalopaties or prion disorders, these diseases can be ...

Rejuvenation Research, 2008
Prion diseases, Alzheimer's disease, and Parkinson's disease are age-related neurodegenerative diseases that are characterized by the formation of protein aggregates during the progress of the disease. Although it is still not known whether these aggregates are causative for, or symptoms of, the disease.

Prion-protein-related diseases of animals and man
2011Scrapie, bovine spongiform encephalopathy (BSE), Creutzfeldt–Jakob disease (CJD), and related diseases of mink (transmissible mink encephalopathy), mule deer and elk (chronic wasting disease) are the founder members of a group of diseases called the transmissible degenerative (or spongiform) encephalopathies (TSE).

Prion's Progress: Patterns and Rates of Molecular Evolution in Relation to Spongiform Disease
Journal of Molecular Evolution, 1998Modification of the cellular prion protein has been correlated with the acquisition of several neurodegenerative diseases, including kuru, scrapie, bovine spongiform encephalopathy (BSE), and Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease (CJD). Sequence conservation and amino acid identity are known to influence the efficacy of interspecific transmission.

Prion Disorders: Creutzfeldt-Jakob Disease and Related Disorders
2021Abstract Prion disorders, or transmissible spongiform encephalopathies (TSEs), are universally fatal human and animal diseases that cause rapid degeneration of brain neurons by way of a conformational change in the prion protein that autocatalyzes further conformational change and selective neuronal toxicity. TSEs may occur sporadically,

Epitope scanning indicates structural differences in brain-derived monomeric and aggregated mutant prion proteins related to genetic prion diseases [PDF]
Biochemical Journal, 2013 Genetic Creutzfeldt–Jakob disease, Gerstmann–Sträussler–Scheinker syndrome, fatal familial insomnia and prion protein cerebral amyloid angiopathy are clinically and neuropathologically distinct neurodegenerative diseases linked to mutations in the PRNP gene encoding the cellular prion protein (PrPC). How sequence variants of PRNP encode the information
