    Description: Alpha-synuclein (alpha-syn) and tau polymerize into amyloid fibrils and form intraneuronal filamentous inclusions characteristic of neurodegenerative diseases. We demonstrate that alpha-syn induces fibrillization of tau and that coincubation of tau and alpha-syn synergistically promotes fibrillization of both proteins. The in vivo relevance of these findings is grounded in the co-occurrence of alpha-syn and tau filamentous amyloid inclusions in humans, in single transgenic mice that express A53T human alpha-syn in neurons, and in oligodendrocytes of bigenic mice that express wild-type human alpha-syn plus P301L mutant tau. This suggests that interactions between alpha-syn and tau can promote their fibrillization and drive the formation of pathological inclusions in human neurodegenerative diseases.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Giasson, Benoit I -- Forman, Mark S -- Higuchi, Makoto -- Golbe, Lawrence I -- Graves, Charles L -- Kotzbauer, Paul T -- Trojanowski, John Q -- Lee, Virginia M-Y -- New York, N.Y. -- Science. 2003 Apr 25;300(5619):636-40.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Author address: 〈/span〉Center for Neurodegenerative Disease Research, Department of Pathology and Laboratory Medicine.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Record origin:〈/span〉 〈a href="http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/12714745" target="_blank"〉PubMed〈/a〉

    Description: The cell tropism of human noroviruses and the development of an in vitro infection model remain elusive. Although susceptibility to individual human norovirus strains correlates with an individual's histo-blood group antigen (HBGA) profile, the biological basis of this restriction is unknown. We demonstrate that human and mouse noroviruses infected B cells in vitro and likely in vivo. Human norovirus infection of B cells required the presence of HBGA-expressing enteric bacteria. Furthermore, mouse norovirus replication was reduced in vivo when the intestinal microbiota was depleted by means of oral antibiotic administration. Thus, we have identified B cells as a cellular target of noroviruses and enteric bacteria as a stimulatory factor for norovirus infection, leading to the development of an in vitro infection model for human noroviruses.〈br /〉〈br /〉〈a href="https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC4401463/" target="_blank"〉〈img src="https://static.pubmed.gov/portal/portal3rc.fcgi/4089621/img/3977009" border="0"〉〈/a〉   〈a href="https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC4401463/" target="_blank"〉This paper as free author manuscript - peer-reviewed and accepted for publication〈/a〉〈br /〉〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Jones, Melissa K -- Watanabe, Makiko -- Zhu, Shu -- Graves, Christina L -- Keyes, Lisa R -- Grau, Katrina R -- Gonzalez-Hernandez, Mariam B -- Iovine, Nicole M -- Wobus, Christiane E -- Vinje, Jan -- Tibbetts, Scott A -- Wallet, Shannon M -- Karst, Stephanie M -- R01 AI080611/AI/NIAID NIH HHS/ -- R21 AI103961/AI/NIAID NIH HHS/ -- T90 DE021990/DE/NIDCR NIH HHS/ -- T90 DE021990-02/DE/NIDCR NIH HHS/ -- New York, N.Y. -- Science. 2014 Nov 7;346(6210):755-9. doi: 10.1126/science.1257147.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Author address: 〈/span〉Department of Molecular Genetics and Microbiology, Emerging Pathogens Institute, College of Medicine, University of Florida, Gainesville, FL, USA. ; Department of Oral Biology, College of Dentistry, University of Florida, Gainesville, FL, USA.

    Description: Uricase is an enzyme involved in purine catabolism and is found in all three domains of life. Curiously, uricase is not functional in some organisms despite its role in converting highly insoluble uric acid into 5-hydroxyisourate. Of particular interest is the observation that apes, including humans, cannot oxidize uric acid,...
