The probabilistic model of Alzheimer disease: the amyloid hypothesis revised

Giovanni B. Frisoni et al.

Summary: The amyloid hypothesis has long been the leading model for the pathogenesis of Alzheimer's disease, but a probabilistic model is proposed as an alternative due to the increasing understanding of the complex biology of Alzheimer's disease. This new model suggests that genetic factors, environmental exposures, and lower-risk genes play significant roles in different types of Alzheimer's disease, leading to a better understanding of disease pathophysiology and potentially accelerating the development of prevention and treatment strategies.

A comparison between MBP- and NT* as N-terminal fusion partner for recombinant protein production in E. coli

Sreejith Raran-Kurussi et al.

Summary: The fusion tag NT* shows high expression and solubility when used as an N-terminal fusion partner for aggregation-prone peptides, but it is not as effective as the well-known fusion tag MBP in enhancing passenger protein solubility. Although NT* has higher overall expression levels, MBP remains superior in improving solubility. After purification, the effective yield of both MBP-fusion and NT*-fusion from the soluble fraction is comparable.

Optimizing purification of the peripheral membrane protein FAM92A1 fused to a modified spidroin tag

Zuoneng Wang et al.

Summary: Cryo-electron microscopy has revolutionized structural biology, but visualizing and purifying peripheral membrane proteins remains challenging. This study developed an optimized purification and expression strategy, successfully purifying FAM92A1 using a spidroin tag NT* and suggesting a possible avenue for expressing other challenging BAR domain proteins.

Cryo-EM structures of amyloid-b 42 filaments from human brains

Yang Yang et al.

Summary: Filament assembly of A beta 42 peptides is a central event in Alzheimer's disease. This study provides cryo-EM structures of A beta 42 filaments from human brains, revealing two types of structurally related filaments. Understanding the structures of A beta 42 filaments from human brains may have important implications for the development of assembly inhibitors and improved imaging agents.

Protease resistance of ex vivo amyloid fibrils implies the proteolytic selection of disease-associated fibril morphologies

Jonathan Schoenfelder et al.

Summary: Recent studies have shown that ex vivo fibrils are more protease stable than in vitro fibrils, supporting the proteolytic selection hypothesis. These findings help explain why only a few amino acid sequences lead to amyloid diseases.

The expanding amyloid family: Structure, stability, function, and pathogenesis

Michael R. Sawaya et al.

Summary: The hidden world of amyloid biology has revealed over 80 amyloid protein fibrils, showing their significance in diseases and biological functions. These proteins differ from globular proteins by stacking into unbranched fibrils, with individual protein sequences adopting different conformations. In functional amyloids, the conformation determines biological function, showcasing the versatility of the amyloid fibril scaffold.

Expression of the human molecular chaperone domain Bri2 BRICHOS on a gram per liter scale with an E. coli fed-batch culture

Benjamin Schmuck et al.

Summary: The protocol developed in this study allows for the production of large quantities of human Bri2 BRICHOS using the solubility-enhancing NT* tag as a fusion partner, which is necessary for effective pre-clinical research. The developed fed-batch production method resulted in high expression levels of up to 18.8 g/L and purification yield of up to 6.5 g/L, with activity assays confirming the ability of the produced protein to inhibit fibrillar and non-fibrillar protein aggregation.
