P3 peptide, a truncated form of A beta devoid of synaptotoxic effect, does not assemble into soluble oligomersFabienne Dulin
CI NAPS, UMR 6232 UCBN CNRS, Centre Cyceron, Bd Henri Becquerel, 14074 Caen Cedex, France
FEBS Lett 582:1865-70. 2008..These properties may explain why p3 would be devoid of any impact on synaptic function and moreover, strengthen the hypothesis that A beta oligomers are the principal synaptotoxic forms of A beta peptides in Alzheimer disease...

Preparation of leptin antagonists by site-directed mutagenesis of human, ovine, rat, and mouse leptin's site III: implications on blocking undesired leptin action in vivoGili Solomon
Faculty of Agricultural, Food, and Environmental Quality Sciences, The Hebrew University of Jerusalem, POB 12, Rehovot 76100, Israel
Ann N Y Acad Sci 1091:531-9. 2006..Some muteins were pegylated using 40 kDa PEG. Although pegylation decreased the in vitro activity, increasing circulation half-life can recompensate this deficit, so pegylated antagonists are expected to be more potent in vivo...
NEDD1-dependent recruitment of the gamma-tubulin ring complex to the centrosome is necessary for centriole duplication and spindle assemblyLaurence Haren
Institut de Sciences et Technologies du Medicament de Toulouse, Centre National de la Recherche Scientifique Pierre Fabre, 31400 Toulouse, France
J Cell Biol 172:505-15. 2006..Further, we show that depletion of NEDD1 inhibits centriole duplication, as does depletion of gamma-tubulin. Our data suggest that centriole duplication requires NEDD1-dependent recruitment of gamma-tubulin to the centrosome...
Munc13-4 is essential for cytolytic granules fusion and is mutated in a form of familial hemophagocytic lymphohistiocytosis (FHL3)Jerome Feldmann
