How Does Domain Replacement Affect Fibril Formation of the Rabbit/Human Prion Proteins
BACKGROUND It is known that in vivo human prion protein (PrP) have the tendency to form fibril deposits and are associated with infectious fatal prion diseases, while the rabbit PrP does not readily form fibrils and is unlikely to cause prion diseases. Although we have previously demonstrated that amyloid fibrils formed by the rabbit PrP and the human PrP have different secondary structures and...
متن کاملFibril formation of the rabbit/human/bovine prion proteins.
Prion diseases are infectious fatal neurodegenerative diseases including Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease in humans and bovine spongiform encephalopathy in cattle. The misfolding and conversion of cellular PrP in such mammals into pathogenic PrP is believed to be the key procedure. Rabbits are among the few mammalian species that exhibit resistance to prion diseases, but little is known about the mole...
متن کاملHow Does Monetary Policy Affect Household Income Distribution?
Over the last decades the research on monetary policy has largely concentrated on the impact of monetary authorities’ decisions on inflation and the fine-tuning of the macroeconomic, so that distributional effects of monetary policy which are non-trivial has been ignored. A view that has become increasingly popular since the financial crisis 2008 is that expansionary monetary policy can exacerb...
متن کاملDoes Long-Term Administration of a Beta-Blocker (Timolol) Induce Fibril-Based Cataract Formation In-vivo?
Timolol is a non-selective beta-adrenergic receptor antagonist administered for treating glaucoma, heart attacks and hypertension. In the present study, we set out to determine whether or not timolol can provoke cataract formation, thus the influence of timolol on the amyloid-type aggregation of crystallin was investigated. We then provided experimental evidence of crystallin aggregation and it...
