Beta-catenin Forms Protein Aggregation at High Concentrations in HEK293TCells
Background: The canonical Wnt signal transduction (or the Wnt/β-catenin pathway) plays a crucial role in the development of animals and in carcinogenesis. Beta-catenin is the central component of this signaling pathway. The activation of Wnt/β-catenin signaling results in the cytoplasmic and nuclear accumulation of β-catenin. In the nucleus, β-catenin interacts with the TCF/LEF transcription fa...
متن کاملRange-Aggregate Queries Involving Geometric Aggregation Operations
In this paper we consider range-aggregate query problems wherein we wish to preprocess a set S of geometric objects such that given a query orthogonal range q, a certain aggregation function on the objects S′ = S ∩ q can be answered efficiently. Range-aggregate version of point enclosure queries, 1-d segment intersection, 2-d orthogonal segment intersection (with/without distance constraint) ar...
متن کاملCBP/p300 Bromodomains Regulate Amyloid-like Protein Aggregation upon Aberrant Lysine Acetylation
Lysine acetylation is becoming increasingly recognized as a general biological principle in cellular homeostasis, and is subject to abnormal control in different human pathologies. Here, we describe a global effect on amyloid-like protein aggregation in human cells that results from aberrant lysine acetylation. Bromodomain reader proteins are involved in the aggregation process and, using chemi...
متن کاملCollagen-mediated platelet aggregation. Effects of collagen modification involving the protein and carbohydrate moieties.
In an effort to elucidate the nature of the collagen-platelet interaction, the effects of collagen modification on platelet aggregation have been studied. We have shown that purified rat skin (salt) soluble collagen is effective at about 20 nM in mediating platelet aggregation in human platelet-rich plasma. This concentration is somewhat greater than that required of several skin insoluble coll...
متن کاملProtein aggregation
As a rule amyloid fibrils appear as unbranched, long rodor ribbon-like structures with the typical diameter of about 10 nm and the length reaching up to 1μm and more. Amyloid fibrils are exceptionally stable against chemical denaturants or temperature. Experiments show that they can withstand up to 8M urea or the temperatures as high as 100 °C (prion fibrils). From a macroscopic viewpoint, form...
