Abstract excerpt
Amyloid assemblies are associated with a wide range of human disorders, including Alzheimer's and Parkinson's diseases. Here, we identify protein kinase C (PKC) γ, a serine/threonine kinase mutated in the neurodegenerative disease spinocerebellar ataxia type 14 (SCA14), as a novel amyloidogenic protein with no previously characterized amyloid-prone domains. We found that overexpression of PKCγ in cultured cells,...
