Aplysia CPEB Can Form Prion-like Multimers in Sensory Neurons that Contribute to Long-Term Facilitation

TL;DR: It is found that, when exogenously expressed in sensory neurons, ApCPEB can form an amyloidogenic self-sustaining multimer, consistent with it being a prion-like protein.

Proinsulin Is Refractory to Protein Fibrillation TOPOLOGICAL PROTECTION OF A PRECURSOR PROTEIN FROM CROSS-β ASSEMBLY

TL;DR: It is demonstrated that proinsulin is refractory to fibrillation under conditions that promote the rapid fibrilation of zinc-free insulin, and proposed that the connecting peptide constrains a large scale conformational change in the misfolded protein.

Transgenerational epigenetic inheritance: from phenomena to molecular mechanisms.

TL;DR: Recent examples of brain related transgenerational epigenetic inheritance are reviewed and potential molecular mechanisms that could regulate how non-genetic information could be transmitted are delineated.

Topics in prion cell biology.

TL;DR: This work has analysed the structure and phenotype of the aggregated conformers underlying the prion state, as well as the interactions regulating their formation and turnover within a dividing cell.

Mechanistic Inferences From Analysis of Measurements of Protein Phase Transitions in Live Cells.

TL;DR: In this paper, a supervised method was developed to obtain automated and accurate classifications of phase transitions quantified using the Distributed Amphifluoric Forster Resonance Energy Transfer (DAmFRET) assay.
