PrP Knockout Cells Expressing Transmembrane PrP Resist Prion Infection [PDF]
Journal of Virology, 2017 ABSTRACT Glycosylphosphatidylinositol (GPI) anchoring of the prion protein (PrP C ) influences PrP C misfolding into the disease-associated isoform, PrP res , as well as prion propagation and infectivity.

Prion protein interacts with bace1 and differentially regulates its activity towards wild type and swedish mutant amyloid precursor protein [PDF]
, 2011 In Alzheimer disease amyloid-β (Aβ) peptides derived from the amyloid precursor protein (APP) accumulate in the brain. Cleavage of APP by the β-secretase BACE1 is the rate-limiting step in the production of Aβ.

Structural modeling and functional analysis of the essential ribosomal processing protease Prp from Staphylococcus aureus [PDF]
, 2017 In Firmicutes and related bacteria, ribosomal large subunit protein L27 is encoded with a conserved N-terminal extension that is removed to expose residues critical for ribosome function. Bacteria encoding L27 with this N-terminal extension also encode a

Management of Fibrosis: The Mesenchymal Stromal Cells Breakthrough
Stem Cells International, 2014 Fibrosis is the endpoint of many chronic inflammatory diseases and is defined by an abnormal accumulation of extracellular matrix components. Despite its slow progression, it leads to organ malfunction. Fibrosis can affect almost any tissue.

Cancer and non-cancer mortality among French uranium cycle workers: the TRACY cohort
BMJ Open, 2016 Objectives The health effects of internal contamination by radionuclides, and notably by uranium, are poorly characterised. New cohorts of uranium workers are needed to better examine these effects.

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 ...
