Post-translational glycosylation diminishes α-synuclein pathology formation

Hilal Lashuel

O-linked N-acetylglucosamine (O-GlcNAc) is an endogenous form of glycosylation that alters the structure of alpha-synuclein amyloid fibrils and attenuates their pathogenetic properties. The modified fibrils have a significantly reduced ability to seed the ...

Glycan heterogeneity as a cause of the persistent fraction in HIV-1 neutralization

Aleksandar Antanasijevic, Philippe André Guy Colin

Neutralizing antibodies (NAbs) to multiple epitopes on the HIV-1-envelope glycoprotein (Env) have been isolated from infected persons. The potency of NAbs is measured more often than the size of the persistent fraction of infectivity at maximum neutralizat ...
