Journal ArticleDOI

Ligand-regulated transport of the Menkes copper P-type ATPase efflux pump from the Golgi apparatus to the plasma membrane: a novel mechanism of regulated trafficking.

TL;DR: It is suggested that MNK continuously recycles between the Golgi and the plasma membrane and elevated copper shifts the steady‐state distribution from the Gol Gi to the plasma membranes, revealing a novel system of regulated protein trafficking which ultimately leads to the efflux of an essential yet potentially toxic ligand.
Journal ArticleDOI

Dopamine promotes α-synuclein aggregation into SDS-resistant soluble oligomers via a distinct folding pathway

TL;DR: DA inhibited the formation of iron‐induced α‐SN amyloidogenic aggregates, suggesting that DA acts as a dominant modulator of α‐ SN aggregation, and support the paradigm emerging for other neurodegenerative diseases that the toxic species is represented by a soluble oligomer and not the insoluble fibril.
Journal ArticleDOI

The solubility of α‐synuclein in multiple system atrophy differs from that of dementia with Lewy bodies and Parkinson's disease

TL;DR: There was an inverse correlation between buffered saline‐soluble and detergent‐ solubility levels of αSN in individual MSA cases suggesting a transition towards insolubility in disease, and it is therefore possible thatbuffered saline-soluble or detergent-insoluble forms of α SN are involved in the pathogenesis of other αSN‐related diseases.
Journal ArticleDOI

Selective inhibition of a two-step egress of malaria parasites from the host erythrocyte.

TL;DR: It is confirmed, with the use of immunoelectron microscopy, that parasitophorous vacuole membrane rupture occurs before erythrocyte plasma membrane rupture in untransfected wild-type parasites.
