Protein aggregation in silico [PDF]
Protein aggregation is a challenge to the successful manufacture of protein therapeutics; it can impose severe limitations on purification yields and compromise formulation stability. Advances in computer power, and the wealth of computational studies pertaining to protein folding, have facilitated the development of molecular simulation as a tool to ...

Neuroinflammation and protein aggregation co-localize across the frontotemporal dementia spectrum
Bevan-Jones, Cope et al. report that neuroinflammation co-localizes with protein aggregation in all major types of frontotemporal dementia, both in vivo with positron emission tomography, and at post mortem. In vivo neuroinflammation patterns are disease-

Lipid oxidation in foods and its implications on proteins
Lipids in foods are sensitive to various environmental conditions. Under light or high temperatures, free radicals could be formed due to lipid oxidation, leading to the formation of unstable food system.

Detergent-mediated protein aggregation [PDF]
Because detergents are commonly used to solvate membrane proteins for structural evaluation, much attention has been devoted to assessing the conformational bias imparted by detergent micelles in comparison to the native environment of the lipid bilayer.

Liquid-Liquid Phase Separation and its Mechanistic Role in Pathological Protein Aggregation.
Liquid-liquid phase separation (LLPS) of proteins underlies the formation of membrane-less organelles. While it has been recognized for some time that these organelles are of key importance for normal cellular functions, a growing number of recent ...

An in vivo platform to select and evolve aggregation-resistant proteins
Protein aggregation remains a significant challenge for manufacturing of protein biopharmaceuticals. Here, the authors demonstrate the use of directed evolution and an assay for in vivo innate protein aggregation-propensity to generate aggregation ...

Heterologous prion-forming proteins interact to cross-seed aggregation in Saccharomyces cerevisiae [PDF]
The early stages of protein misfolding remain incompletely understood, as most mammalian proteinopathies are only detected after irreversible protein aggregates have formed.

Protein aggregation and neurodegeneration [PDF]
In 1997 Carrell and Lomas put forth the concept that many disorders, which appeared to be unlinked, arose from the same general mechanism that involved the abnormal unfolding and aggregation of various underlying proteins [1]. The flux of proteins through pathways for formation of amyloid-like aggregates was proposed to be the mechanism for ...

A3DyDB: exploring structural aggregation propensities in the yeast proteome
Background The budding yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae (S. cerevisiae) is a well-established model system for studying protein aggregation due to the conservation of essential cellular structures and pathways found across eukaryotes.

O-GlcNAc modification blocks the aggregation and toxicity of the protein α-synuclein associated with Parkinson's disease. [PDF]
Several aggregation-prone proteins associated with neurodegenerative diseases can be modified by O-linked N-acetyl-glucosamine (O-GlcNAc) in vivo. One of these proteins, α-synuclein, is a toxic aggregating protein associated with synucleinopathies ...
