[PDF][PDF] ALS/FTD mutation-induced phase transition of FUS liquid droplets and reversible hydrogels into irreversible hydrogels impairs RNP granule function

…, W Meadows, RR Ferry, L Dong, GG Tartaglia… - Neuron, 2015 - cell.com
The mechanisms by which mutations in FUS and other RNA binding proteins cause ALS and
FTD remain controversial. We propose a model in which low-complexity (LC) domains of …

[HTML][HTML] Amyloid-like aggregates sequester numerous metastable proteins with essential cellular functions

…, AC Woerner, S Pinkert, MH Hecht, GG Tartaglia… - Cell, 2011 - cell.com
Protein aggregation is linked with neurodegeneration and numerous other diseases by
mechanisms that are not well understood. Here, we have analyzed the gain-of-function toxicity of …

[PDF][PDF] FUS phase separation is modulated by a molecular chaperone and methylation of arginine cation-π interactions

…, W Meadows, R Ferry, VJ Dardov, GG Tartaglia… - Cell, 2018 - cell.com
Reversible phase separation underpins the role of FUS in ribonucleoprotein granules and
other membrane-free organelles and is, in part, driven by the intrinsically disordered low-…

Prediction of aggregation-prone regions in structured proteins

GG Tartaglia, AP Pawar, S Campioni… - Journal of molecular …, 2008 - Elsevier
We present a method for predicting the regions of the sequences of peptides and proteins
that are most important in promoting their aggregation and amyloid formation. The method …

Metastability of native proteins and the phenomenon of amyloid formation

AJ Baldwin, TPJ Knowles, GG Tartaglia… - Journal of the …, 2011 - ACS Publications
An experimental determination of the thermodynamic stabilities of a series of amyloid fibrils
reveals that this structural form is likely to be the most stable one that protein molecules can …

[PDF][PDF] DnaK functions as a central hub in the E. coli chaperone network

…, H Chang, P Genevaux, F Agostini, GG Tartaglia… - Cell reports, 2012 - cell.com
Cellular chaperone networks prevent potentially toxic protein aggregation and ensure
proteome integrity. Here, we used Escherichia coli as a model to understand the organization of …

Predicting protein associations with long noncoding RNAs

M Bellucci, F Agostini, M Masin, GG Tartaglia - Nature methods, 2011 - nature.com
To the Editor: Only a small fraction of the human transcriptome (∼ 1%) encodes proteins1,
but a large portion of transcripts is long noncoding RNAs (lncRNAs) and is an unexplored …

The Zyggregator method for predicting protein aggregation propensities

GG Tartaglia, M Vendruscolo - Chemical Society Reviews, 2008 - pubs.rsc.org
Protein aggregation causes many devastating neurological and systemic diseases and
represents a major problem in the preparation of recombinant proteins in biotechnology. Major …

Life on the edge: a link between gene expression levels and aggregation rates of human proteins

GG Tartaglia, S Pechmann, CM Dobson… - Trends in biochemical …, 2007 - cell.com
We have found that expression levels of human genes in vivo are remarkably anti-correlated
with the aggregation rates of the corresponding proteins measured in vitro by experiment. …

catRAPID omics: a web server for large-scale prediction of protein–RNA interactions

…, P Klus, D Marchese, D Cirillo, GG Tartaglia - …, 2013 - academic.oup.com
Here we introduce catRAPID omics, a server for large-scale calculations of protein–RNA
interactions. Our web server allows (i) predictions at proteomic and transcriptomic level; (ii) use …
