A new multiphasic buffer system for benzyldimethyl-n-hexadecylammonium chloride polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis of proteins providing efficient stackingMichael L Kramer
Prion and Dementia Research Unit, University of Goettingen, Goettingen, Germany
Electrophoresis 27:347-56. 2006..Due to efficient focusing of the introduced tracking dye, methyl green, termination of electrophoresis can now be more easily followed as compared to the Schlieren line...
Presynaptic alpha-synuclein aggregates, not Lewy bodies, cause neurodegeneration in dementia with Lewy bodiesMichael L Kramer
Prion and Dementia Research Unit, Institute of Neuropathology, University of Goettingen, 37075 Goettingen, Germany
J Neurosci 27:1405-10. 2007..This concept may also be valid for Parkinson's disease...
Selective detection, quantification, and subcellular location of alpha-synuclein aggregates with a protein aggregate filtration assayMichael L Kramer
Prion and Dementia Research Unit, Institute of Neuropathology, University of Goettingen, Goettingen, Germany
Biotechniques 44:403-11. 2008..Since it detects the pathological isoform instead of surrogate markers, the PAF assay may have also potential in diagnosis of PD and DLB...
Prion protein binds copper within the physiological concentration rangeM L Kramer
Department of Neuropathology, Georg August University of Gottingen, Robert Koch Strasse 40, 37075 Gottingen, Germany
J Biol Chem 276:16711-9. 2001..This argues strongly for a direct role of the prion protein in copper metabolism, since it is almost saturated at about 5 microm, and the exchangeable copper pool concentration in blood is about 8 microm...
Prion protein helix1 promotes aggregation but is not converted into beta-sheetJens Watzlawik
Prion and Dementia Research Unit, Institute of Neuropathology, University of Goettingen, 37075 Goettingen, Germany
J Biol Chem 281:30242-50. 2006..In conclusion, we provide strong direct evidence that in contrast to earlier assumptions helix1 is not converted into beta-sheet during aggregation of PrP(C) to PrP(Sc)...
Modulation of L-type voltage-gated calcium channels by recombinant prion proteinStefan Korte
Department of Neuropathology, , , Germany
J Neurochem 87:1037-42. 2003..These data demonstrate that nanomolar concentrations of PrPC modulate L-type VGCCs in mouse cerebellar granule cells, an effect that is dependent upon the copper-binding amino-terminal domain of PrPC...
Over-expression of alpha-synuclein in the nervous system enhances axonal degeneration after peripheral nerve lesion in a transgenic mouse strainHeike Siebert
Institute of Neuropathology, University Medical Centre Goettingen, Goettingen, Germany
J Neurochem 114:1007-18. 2010..alpha-Synuclein transgenic mice represent an appropriate model for investigations on axonal transport in neurodegenerative diseases...
