Dihydropyrimidine-Thiones and Clioquinol Synergize To Target β-Amyloid Cellular Pathologies through a Metal-Dependent Mechanism.

TL;DR: The identification of a new cytoprotective scaffold that requires metal-binding underscores the critical role of metal phenomenology in mediating Aβ toxicity and demonstrates the valuable potential of synergistic compounds to enhance on-target activities, while mitigating deleterious off-target effects.

Yeast cells expressing amyloid beta and uses therefor

TL;DR: In this paper, yeast cells expressing a polypeptide comprising a signal sequence and a human amyloid beta protein were screened to identify compounds that prevent or suppress toxicity and genetic suppressors or enhancers.
Journal ArticleDOI

Role of HSP90 in the Regulation of de Novo Purine Biosynthesis.

TL;DR: A new-found biochemical mechanism for the regulation of de novo purine biosynthetic enzymes mediated through HSP90 is presented and the combined efforts of molecular chaperones in the maturation of PPAT and FGAMS result in purinosome formation and are likely essential for enhancing the rate of purine production to meet intracellular purine demand.

Hsp90 as a capacitor of phenotypic

TL;DR: Manipulating Hsp90’s buffering capacity offers a tool for harnessing cryptic genetic variation and for elucidating the interplay between genotypes, environments and stochastic events inthe determination of phenotype.
