Journal ArticleDOI

From Fuzzy to Function: The New Frontier of Protein–Protein Interactions

TL;DR: Conformationally heterogenous or "fuzzy" proteins have often been described as lacking specificity in binding and in function, but emerging data illustrates that conformational heterogeneity enables context-specific function to emerge in response to changing cellular conditions.
Journal ArticleDOI

Identification of dihydropyridines that reduce cellular tau levels

TL;DR: A series of dihydropyridines were identified that have an effect on the accumulation of tau, an important target in Alzheimer's disease.
Journal ArticleDOI

The disorderly conduct of Hsc70 and its interaction with the Alzheimer's-related Tau protein

TL;DR: The interaction between the human Hsp70 isoform heat shock cognate 71-kDa protein (Hsc70 or HSPA8) and peptides derived from the microtubule-associated protein Tau, which is linked to Alzheimer's disease is reported.
Journal ArticleDOI

Chemical probes that selectively recognize the earliest Aβ oligomers in complex mixtures.

TL;DR: Bivalent versions of the known Aβ ligand, the pentapeptide KLVFF, are generated that recognized primarily Aβ trimers and tetramers, with little binding to either monomer or higher order structures.
Journal ArticleDOI

HSC70 is a chaperone for wild-type and mutant cardiac myosin binding protein C

TL;DR: In an unbiased coimmunoprecipitation/mass spectrometry screen, HSP70-family chaperones were identified as interactors of both WT and mutant MYBPC3, and it is suggested that the HSC70 chaperone system plays a major role in regulating MYB PC3 protein turnover.
