Abstract excerpt
Functional amyloids, beneficial to the organism producing them, are found throughout life, from bacteria to humans. While disease-related amyloids form by uncontrolled aggregation, the fibrillation of functional amyloid is regulated by complex cellular machinery and optimized sequences, including so-called gatekeeper residues such as Asp. However, the molecular basis for this regulation remains unclear. Here we...
