Site-Directed Mutations in the C-Terminal Extension of Human αB-Crystallin Affect Chaperone Function and Block Amyloid Fibril Formation
BACKGROUND: Alzheimer's, Parkinson's and Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease are associated with inappropriate protein deposition and ordered amyloid fibril assembly. Molecular chaperones, including αB-crystallin, play a role in the prevention of protein deposition. METHODOLOGY/PRINCIPAL FINDINGS: A...
