Suppression of in Vivo β-Amyloid Peptide Toxicity by Overexpression of the HSP-16.2 Small Chaperone Protein
10 Nov 2007
Abstract excerpt
Expression of the human beta-amyloid peptide (Abeta) in a transgenic Caenorhabditis elegans Alzheimer disease model leads to the induction of HSP-16 proteins, a family of small heat shock-inducible proteins homologous to vertebrate alphaB crystallin. These proteins also co-localize and co-immunoprecipitate with Abeta in this model (Fonte, V., Kapulkin, V., Taft, A., Fluet, A., Friedman, D., and Link, C. D. (2002)...
