Protein aggregation in Escherichia coli: role of proteases.
Protein aggregation is involved in several human diseases, and presumed to be an important process in protein quality control. In bacteria, aggregation of proteins occurs during stress conditions, such as heat shock. We studied the protein aggregates of Escherichia coli during heat shock. Our results demonstrate that the concentration and diversity of proteins in the aggregates depend on the av...
متن کاملRole of Prion Protein Aggregation in Neurotoxicity
In several neurodegenerative diseases, such as Parkinson, Alzheimer's, Huntington, and prion diseases, the deposition of aggregated misfolded proteins is believed to be responsible for the neurotoxicity that characterizes these diseases. Prion protein (PrP), the protein responsible of prion diseases, has been deeply studied for the peculiar feature of its misfolded oligomers that are able to pr...
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 کاملRole of partial protein unfolding in alcohol-induced protein aggregation.
Proteins aggregate in response to various stresses including changes in solvent conditions. Addition of alcohols has been recently shown to induce aggregation of disease-related as well as nondisease-related proteins. Here we probed the biophysical mechanisms underlying alcohol-induced protein aggregation, in particular the role of partial protein unfolding in aggregation. We have studied aggre...
متن کاملBIOTECHNOLOGICALLY RELEVANT ENZYMES AND PROTEINS Expression of chondroitin-4-O-sulfotransferase inEscherichia coli and Pichia pastoris
Chondroitin sulfates are linear sulfated polysaccharides called glycosaminoglycans. They are important nutraceutical and pharmaceutical products that are biosynthesized through the action of chondroitin sulfotransferases on either an unsulfated chondroitin or a dermatan polysaccharide precursor. While the enzymes involved in the biosynthesis of chondroitin sulfates are well known, the cloning e...
