R6/2 transgenic mice with expanded CAG repeats (> 300) have a surprisingly prolonged disease progression and longer lifespan than prototypical parent R6/2 mice (carrying 150 CAGs); however, the mechanism of this phenotype amelioration is unknown. We compar ...
Mutations in the parkin gene cause early-onset, autosomal recessive Parkinson's disease. Parkin functions as an E3 ubiquitin ligase to mediate the covalent attachment of ubiquitin monomers or linked chains to protein substrates. Substrate ubiquitination ca ...
An unprecedented series of titanocene-gold bi- and trimetallic complexes of the general formula [(eta(5)-C5H5)-(mu-eta(5):kappa(1)-C5H4(CH2)(n)PPh2)TiCl2AuClx](q+) (n = 0, 2, or 4; m = 1, x =1, q = 0 or m = 2, x = 0, q = 1) have been prepared and char ...
Hsp70-Hsp40-NEF and possibly Hsp100 are the only known molecular chaperones that can use the energy of ATP to convert stably pre-aggregated polypeptides into natively refolded proteins. However, the kinetic parameters and ATP costs have remained elusive be ...
