Systematic mutagenesis of α-synuclein reveals distinct sequence requirements for physiological and pathological activities.
α-Synuclein is an abundant presynaptic protein that binds to phospholipids and synaptic vesicles. Physiologically, α-synuclein functions as a SNARE-protein chaperone that promotes SNARE-complex assembly for neurotransmitter release. Pathologically, α-synuclein mutations and α-synuclein overexpression cause Parkinson's disease, and aggregates of α-synuclein are found as Lewy bodies in multiple n...
متن کاملPhysiological and Pathological Roles for MicroRNAs: Implications for Immunity Complications
MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are small non-coding regulatory RNAs molecules with a size of approximately 22 nucleotides that are implicated in regulating gene expression at the post-transcriptional regulatory levels. Inflammatory disorders especially autoimmune diseases (ADs) occur from an abnormal immune response of body against cells of their own specific tissues or multiple organ systems leading to ch...
متن کاملA sensitive assay reveals structural requirements for α-synuclein fibril growth.
The accumulation of α-synuclein (α-syn) fibrils in neuronal inclusions is the defining pathological process in Parkinson's disease (PD). A pathogenic role for α-syn fibril accumulation is supported by the identification of dominantly inherited α-syn (SNCA) gene mutations in rare cases of familial PD. Fibril formation involves a spontaneous nucleation event in which soluble α-syn monomers associ...
متن کاملDeep RNA Sequencing Reveals Novel Cardiac Transcriptomic Signatures for Physiological and Pathological Hypertrophy
Although both physiological hypertrophy (PHH) and pathological hypertrophy (PAH) of the heart have similar morphological appearances, only PAH leads to fatal heart failure. In the present study, we used RNA sequencing (RNA-Seq) to determine the transcriptomic signatures for both PHH and PAH. Approximately 13-20 million reads were obtained for both models, among which PAH showed more differentia...
متن کاملdiagnostic and developmental potentials of dynamic assessment for writing skill
این پایان نامه بدنبال بررسی کاربرد ارزیابی مستمر در یک محیط یادگیری زبان دوم از طریق طرح چهار سوال تحقیق زیر بود: (1) درک توانایی های فراگیران زمانیکه که از طریق برآورد عملکرد مستقل آنها امکان پذیر نباشد اما در طول جلسات ارزیابی مستمر مشخص شوند; (2) امکان تقویت توانایی های فراگیران از طریق ارزیابی مستمر; (3) سودمندی ارزیابی مستمر در هدایت آموزش فردی به سمتی که به منطقه ی تقریبی رشد افراد حساس ا...
