Amyloid is associated with debilitating human ailments including Alzheimer's and prion
diseases. Biochemical, biophysical, and imaging analyses revealed that fibers produced by …

Amyloid fibers are filamentous proteinaceous structures commonly associated with
mammalian neurodegenerative diseases. Nucleation is the rate-limiting step of amyloid …

Amyloid fibers are filamentous protein structures commonly associated with
neurodegenerative diseases. Unlike disease-associated amyloids, which are the products of …

Curli are functional amyloid fibers assembled by enteric bacteria such as Escherichia coli
and Salmonella spp. In E. coli, the polymerization of the major curli fiber subunit protein …

Curli are functional amyloids produced by enteric bacteria. The major curli fiber subunit,
CsgA, self-assembles into an amyloid fiber in vitro. The minor curli subunit protein, CsgB, is …

Amyloid formation is characterized by the conversion of soluble proteins into biochemically
and structurally distinct fibers. Although amyloid formation is traditionally associated with …

Curli are extracellular functional amyloids that are assembled by enteric bacteria during
biofilm formation and host colonization. An efficient secretion system and chaperone …

Here we describe a protocol for the generation of amyloid aggregates of target
amyloidogenic proteins using a bacteria-based system called curli-dependent amyloid …

The amyloid fold is usually considered a result of protein misfolding. However, a number of
studies have recently shown that the amyloid structure is also used in nature for functional …

Amyloids are proteinaceous fibers commonly associated with neurodegenerative diseases
and prion-based encephalopathies. Many different polypeptides can form amyloid fibers …
