    Notes: Abstract The endoplasmic reticulum (ER) serves as a way-station during the biogenesis of nearly all secreted proteins, and associated with or housed within the ER are factors required to catalyze their import into the ER and facilitate their folding. To ensure that only properly folded proteins are secreted and to temper the effects of cellular stress, the ER can target aberrant proteins for degradation and/or adapt to the accumulation of misfolded proteins. Molecular chaperones play critical roles in each of these phenomena.

    Notes: The prion hypothesis proposes that proteins can act as infectious agents. Originally formulated to explain transmissible spongiform encephalopathies (TSEs), the prion hypothesis has been extended with the finding that several non-Mendelian traits in fungi are due to heritable changes in protein conformation, which may in some cases be beneficial. Although much remains to be learned about the specific role of cellular cofactors, mechanistic parallels between the mammalian and yeast prion phenomena point to universal features of conformation-based infection and inheritance involving propagation of ordered beta-sheet-rich protein aggregates commonly referred to as amyloid. Here we focus on two such features and discuss recent efforts to explain them in terms of the physical properties of amyloid-like aggregates. The first is prion strains, wherein chemically identical infectious particles cause distinct phenotypes. The second is barriers that often prohibit prion transmission between different species. There is increasing evidence suggesting that both of these can be manifestations of the same phenomenon: the ability of a protein to misfold into multiple self-propagating conformations. Even single mutations can change the spectrum of favored misfolded conformations. In turn, changes in amyloid conformation can shift the specificity of propagation and alter strain phenotypes. This model helps explain many common and otherwise puzzling features of prion inheritance as well as aspects of noninfectious diseases involving toxic misfolded proteins.

    Notes: [Auszug] Among the many surprises to arise from studies of prion biology, perhaps the most unexpected is the strain phenomenon whereby a single protein can misfold into structurally distinct, infectious states that cause distinguishable phenotypes. Similarly, proteins can adopt a spectrum of ...

    Notes: [Auszug] The census bureau will tell you that the typical American family has 2.1 children, but there are no families (we hope) that precisely match this mean. Similarly, biologists have come to realize that population-based measurements can obscure critical information about cell-to-cell diversity. The use ...

    Notes: [Auszug] A principle that has emerged from studies of protein aggregation is that proteins typically can misfold into a range of different aggregated forms. Moreover, the phenotypic and pathological consequences of protein aggregation depend critically on the specific misfolded form. A striking example ...

    Notes: [Auszug] To produce a 'as-only' GroEL complex, which is able to bind polypeptide and GroES on only one and the same ring, we formed a mixed-ring GroEL complex, in which one ring was composed of wild-type subunits and the other of subunits with apical domain substitutions that prevent both polypeptide and ...

    Notes: [Auszug] The best characterized disulphide folding pathway of a protein is for the in vitro folding of BPTI7 n (Fig. \a, b). During folding at neutral pH, BPTI accumulates rapidly as one of two intermed-iates. These intermediates, termed N* and N', both contain two native disulphide bonds, ...

    Notes: [Auszug] A remarkable feature of prions is that infectious particles composed of the same prion protein can give rise to different phenotypes. This strain phenomenon suggests that a single prion protein can adopt multiple infectious conformations. Here we use a novel single fiber growth assay to examine the ...

    Notes: [Auszug] Bovine pancreatic trypsin inhibitor (BPTI) does not fold by simple sequential formation of its native disulphide bonds. Instead, an initially formed intermediate, termed N', first rearranges to a more stable species in a slow process that requires substantial unfolding. We find that direct ...
