Peptide aggregation in neurodegenerative disease.
In the not-so-distant past, insoluble aggregated protein was considered as uninteresting and bothersome as yesterday's trash. More recently, protein aggregates have enjoyed considerable scientific interest, as it has become clear that these aggregates play key roles in many diseases. In this review, we focus attention on three polypeptides: beta-amyloid, prion, and huntingtin, which are linked ...
متن کاملProtein aggregation in neurodegenerative disease: the nucleolar connection
Proteinand sometimes RNA-containing aggregates are a hallmark of many age-related neurodegenerative diseases. Aggregate depositions can be cytoplasmic, nuclear and even extracellular. This article focuses on nuclear aggregation and the potential role of a specific compartment—the nucleolus, in the process. The nucleolus is a formation site of nucleolar aggresomes—protein and RNA aggregates form...
متن کاملNeurodegenerative aspects of protein aggregation.
Protein aggregation and amyloid fibril deposits are characteristic features of more than twenty pathologic conditions characterized by plaque deposition in the central nervous system. Recent studies point out relationships between protein misfolding and numerous serious diseases. Despite different origins (sporadic, familial or transmissible), they are sometimes called conformational diseases t...
متن کاملRole of Protein Aggregation in Neurodegenerative Diseases
Proteins and peptides are essential complex macromolecules of organisms and participate in actually every process within cells. Three dimensional structures of proteins play a critical role for biological functions. Therefore, they must be properly folded for performing these functions. Three dimensional structures are determined by composition of amino acid se‐ quence. In addition to hydrophob...
متن کاملAggregation kinetics of popularity
The tools of aggregation kinetics are applied to the “popularity” phenomena of single-lane tra)c clustering, and to the growth of a network that mimics citations of scienti+c publications. In the latter, the network is built by introducing papers (new nodes) one at a time, with preferential linking to more popular previously existing nodes. From the rate equations, the distribution of node degr...
