Familial Prion Disease Cases Without Mutation in PRNPGene
Phosphorus (P), in the form of phosphate ion (Pi), is a vital element contributing in biomolecule structures, metabolic reactions, signaling pathways and energy transfer within the living cells. The objective of the present study was to assess the influence of fungal infection on Pi metabolism in compare to the effects of phosphate stress in Arabidopsis. Quantification of total P contents showe...
متن کاملPrion protein gene in Alzheimer's disease.
Alzheimer’s disease (AD) is a complex disorder, including sporadic (representing the majority of cases) and familial forms, the latter being usually linked to a genetic etiology. Three major genes have been already described as the cause of AD: amyloid precursor protein (APP) gene, presenilin 1 gene (PSEN1), and presenilin 2 gene (PSEN2), typically presenting with an early onset (before 60 year...
متن کاملExpanding the prion disease repertoire.
In 1982, Stanley Prusiner proposed that the infectious agent of transmissible spongiform encephalopathies (TSEs), a group of relatively rare neurodegenerative disorders that includes Creutzfeldt–Jakob disease and scrapie, lacks replicating nucleic acids and instead is composed primarily of a misfolded conformation of the prion protein, which he termed PrP (1). Originally, the “prion” hypothesis...
متن کاملInherited prion disease with A117V mutation of the prion protein gene: a novel Hungarian family.
Three members of a family with inherited prion disease are reported. One additional family member had a progressive neurological disease without details. Two developed symptoms of ataxia, dementia, myoclonus, rigidity, and hemiparesis, and one had a different phenotype with the combination of lower motor neuron deficit, parkinsonism, intellectual decline, and ataxia. In this last patient cell l...
متن کاملAbsence of spontaneous disease and comparative prion susceptibility of transgenic mice expressing mutant human prion proteins
Approximately 15 % of human prion disease is associated with autosomal-dominant pathogenic mutations in the prion protein (PrP) gene. Previous attempts to model these diseases in mice have expressed human PrP mutations in murine PrP, but this may have different structural consequences. Here, we describe transgenic mice expressing human PrP with P102L or E200K mutations and methionine (M) at the...
