In vivo amyloid-like fibrils produced under stress

N. A. Fontana, A. D. Rosse, A. Watts, P. S. R. Coelho, A. J. Costa-Filho

This study detects amyloid-like fibrils in vivo using autofluorescence from β-sheets, showing Grh1's role in stress responses without extrinsic probes.

The yeast GRASP Grh1 displays a high polypeptide backbone mobility along with an amyloidogenic behavior

N. A. Fontana, R. Fonseca-Maldonado, L. F. S. Mendes, L. P. Meleiro, A. J. Costa-Filho

The paper shows that the yeast GRASP Grh1 is intrinsically disordered and can form amyloid fibrils, suggesting these properties may be common in the GRASP family.
