Aggregating gut: on the link between neurodegeneration and bacterial functional amyloids

2024-11-28

Abstract excerpt

Amyloids are insoluble protein aggregates with a cross-beta structure, which are traditionally associated with neurodegeneration. Similar structures, named functional amyloids, expressed mostly by microorganisms, play important physiological roles, e.g. bacterial biofilm stabilization. Using a bioinformatics approach, we identify gut microbiome functional amyloids and analyze their potential impact on human health...
