The polysaccharide scaffold of PrP 27-30 is a common compound of natural prions and consists of ?-linked polyglucose

An inert polysaccharide scaffold identified as a 5–15% component of prion rods (PrP 27–30) is unambiguously distinguishable from the N-glycosyl groups and the GPI anchor of PrP, and consists predominantly of 1,4-linked glucose with some branching via 1,4,6-linked glucose...

Assembly of natural and recombinant prion protein into fibrils

The conversion of the ?-helical, cellular isoform of the prion protein (PrPC) to the insoluble, ?-sheet-rich, infectious, disease-causing isoform (PrPSc) is the fundamental event in the prion diseases...

Paired helical filaments contain small amounts of cholesterol, phosphatidylcholine and sphingolipids

By using qualitative and quantitative high-performance thin layer chromatography (hpTLC) we found lipids associated with purified Alzheimer's (AD) paired helical filaments (PHF) in an amount of 1.4±0.2% of the total anhydrous mass...
