Bioinformatic identification of previously unrecognized amyloidogenic proteins.

Abstract excerpt

Low-complexity domains (LCDs) of proteins have been shown to self-associate, and pathogenic mutations within these domains often drive the proteins into amyloid aggregation associated with disease. These domains may be especially susceptible to amyloidogenic mutations because they are commonly intrinsically disordered and function in self-association. The question therefore arises whether a search for pathogenic...
