[PDF][PDF] Effects of curvature and composition on α-synuclein binding to lipid vesicles

ER Middleton, E Rhoades - Biophysical journal, 2010 - cell.com
Parkinson's disease is characterized by the presence of intracellular aggregates composed
primarily of the neuronal protein α-synuclein (αS). Interactions between αS and various …

Watching proteins fold one molecule at a time

E Rhoades, E Gussakovsky… - Proceedings of the …, 2003 - National Acad Sciences
Recent theoretical work suggests that protein folding involves an ensemble of pathways on a
rugged energy landscape. We provide direct evidence for heterogeneous folding pathways …

[PDF][PDF] Quantification of α-synuclein binding to lipid vesicles using fluorescence correlation spectroscopy

E Rhoades, TF Ramlall, WW Webb, D Eliezer - Biophysical journal, 2006 - cell.com
α-Synuclein (αS) is a soluble synaptic protein that is the major proteinaceous component of
insoluble fibrillar Lewy body deposits that are the hallmark of Parkinson's disease. The …

Trafficking and release of mycobacterial lipids from infected macrophages

WL Beatty, ER Rhoades, HJ Ullrich, D Chatterjee… - Traffic, 2000 - Wiley Online Library
Analysis of infected macrophages revealed that lipid‐containing moieties of the mycobacterial
cell wall are actively trafficked out of the mycobacterial vacuole. To facilitate the analysis …

Spontaneous reversion of Mycobacterium abscessus from a smooth to a rough morphotype is associated with reduced expression of glycopeptidolipid and …

ST Howard, E Rhoades, J Recht, X Pang… - …, 2006 - microbiologyresearch.org
Mycobacterium abscessus is an increasingly important cause of human disease; however,
virulence determinants are largely uncharacterized. Previously, it was demonstrated that a …

A Bloomfield, SC Wayland, E Rhoades… - Factors affecting …, 2010 - researchgate.net
PurPose—To establish what is currently known about factors that affect foreign language
listening comprehension, with a focus on characteristics of the listener, passage, and testing …

α-Synuclein binds large unilamellar vesicles as an extended helix

AJ Trexler, E Rhoades - Biochemistry, 2009 - ACS Publications
Interactions between the synaptic protein α-Synuclein and cellular membranes may be
relevant both to its native function as well as its role in Parkinson’s disease. We use single …

In vivo activity of released cell wall lipids of Mycobacterium bovis bacillus Calmette-Guerin is due principally to trehalose mycolates

…, K Sakamoto, DG Russell, ER Rhoades - The Journal of …, 2005 - journals.aai.org
The hallmark of Mycobacterium-induced pathology is granulomatous inflammation at the
site of infection. Mycobacterial lipids are potent immunomodulators that contribute to the …

Mycobacterium and the coat of many lipids

…, HC Mwandumba, EE Rhoades - The Journal of cell biology, 2002 - rupress.org
Pathogenic Mycobacterium reside inside vacuoles in their host macrophages. These vacuoles
fail to fuse with lysosomes yet interact with early endosomes. Glycoconjugates released …

N‐terminal acetylation is critical for forming α‐helical oligomer of α‐synuclein

AJ Trexler, E Rhoades - Protein Science, 2012 - Wiley Online Library
The aggregation of the protein α‐synuclein (AS) is critical to the pathogenesis of Parkinson's
disease. Although generally described as an unstructured monomer, recent evidence …
