Abstract excerpt
14-3-3 proteins are highly abundant in brain tissue. The presence of 14-3-3 at elevated levels in the cerebrospinal fluid has been considered as a biomarker for sporadic Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease (CJD). Recent studies showed that 14-3-3 beta protein interacts with the N-terminal amino acids 1-38 and with the central hydrophobic amino acids 106-126 of prion protein. This interaction may indicate a role of 14-3-3...
