Cellular Protein Aggregates: Formation, Biological Effects, and Ways of Elimination

open access: yesInternational Journal of Molecular Sciences, 2023
The accumulation of protein aggregates is the hallmark of many neurodegenerative diseases. The dysregulation of protein homeostasis (or proteostasis) caused by acute proteotoxic stresses or chronic expression of mutant proteins can lead to protein ...

Protein Aggregation

Clinical Chemistry and Laboratory Medicine, 2001
Protein aggregation occurs in vivo as a result of improper folding or misfolding. Diverse diseases arise from protein misfolding and are now grouped under the term "protein conformational diseases", including most of the neurodegenerative disorders such as Alzheimer's disease, Parkinson's disease, the prion encephalopathies and Huntington's disease, as

Protein aggregation and prionopathies

Pathologie Biologie, 2014
Prion protein and prion-like proteins share a number of characteristics. From the molecular point of view, they are constitutive proteins that aggregate following conformational changes into insoluble particles. These particles escape the cellular clearance machinery and amplify by recruiting the soluble for of their constituting proteins.

Mechanisms of Protein Aggregation

Current Pharmaceutical Biotechnology, 2009
Aggregation or reversible self-association of protein therapeutics can arise through a number of different mechanisms. Five common aggregation mechanisms are described and their relations to manufacturing processes to suppress and remove aggregates are discussed.

Protein Misfolding and Aggregation

Biotechnology Progress, 2008
Interest in the problem of protein misfolding and aggregation has exploded in recent years for two reasons: (1) the sharp rise in the number and volume of therapeutic proteins produced commercially and (2) the recognition of the central role of protein aggregates in degenerative diseases.

Protein Denaturation and Aggregation

Annals of the New York Academy of Sciences, 2006
Abstract: Protein aggregation is a prominent feature of many neurodegenerative diseases, such as Alzheimer's, Huntington's, and Parkinson's diseases, as well as spongiform encephalopathies and systemic amyloidoses. These diseases are sometimes called protein misfolding diseases, but the latter term begs the question of what is the “folded” state of ...

Physicochemical Principles of Protein Aggregation

2013
This chapter provides a theoretical framework on the quantitative description of protein aggregation. The reader is provided with an overview of the fundamental theory of linear and helical polymers, as well as an introduction on the parameters governing evolution of aggregates over time.

Aggregate Formation and the Structure of the Aggregates of Disulfide-Reduced Proteins

Journal of Protein Chemistry, 2002
Aggregate formation and the structure of the aggregates of disulfide-reduced proteins were investigated using alpha-lactalbumin and lysozyme as model proteins. First, reducing conditions were adjusted so that only one of the four disulfide bonds present in each native protein was cleaved.

Protein aggregation: An overview

In order for an ordered protein to perform its specific function, it must have a specific molecular structure. Information about this structure is encoded in the protein's amino acid sequence. The unique functional state is achieved as a result of a specific process, known as protein folding. However, as a result of partial or complete unfolding of the

Reversal of Protein Aggregation Provides Evidence for Multiple Aggregated States

Journal of Molecular Biology, 2005
Observations that prefibrillar aggregates from different amyloidogenic proteins can be solubilised under some conditions have raised questions as to the generality of this phenomenon and the nature of the factors that influence it. By studying aggregates formed from human muscle acylphosphatase (AcP) under mild denaturing conditions, and by using a ...
