Scene 1 (0s)

Mind Map (Course Overview). Alzheimer. Macintosh HD:Users:ben:Desktop:.

Scene 2 (1m 28s)

Glial cell proliferation Neuroprotection  copper ions  redox to reduce ROS Neurite outgrowth myelination.

Scene 3 (6m 28s)

A) PrP o/o mice show alterations in synaptic processes (Collinge et al., 1994).

Scene 4 (11m 28s)

Bild 1. D). Proposed Physiological Role of PrP.

Scene 5 (12m 54s)

PrP c -knock-out mice are resistant towards a scrapie infection (Bueler et al., 1993).

Scene 6 (16m 5s)

Scene 8 (20m 22s)

Retroviruses act as Rickshaws for prions. IMG0017 pct 00010F73 Dokumente B3438E48.

Scene 9 (22m 3s)

IMG0021 pct 00010F73 Dokumente B3438E48. PrP Sc binds to PrP c in a heterodimer and forces PrP c to undergo a structural change, resulting in the formation of a new PrP Sc molecule. In a rolling circle like mechanisms, PrP Sc might dissociate from the dimer complex and converts more PrP c molecules to PrP Sc ..

Scene 10 (24m 54s)

Conversion of PrP c to PrP Sc is similar to the process of permanent waves (straight hair  curly/waves) . The latter however, includes breakage and re-unification of disulfide bridges, whereas the conversion of PrP c into PrP Sc encompasses conversions of alpha helices into beta-sheets. Both processes are irreversible!.

Scene 11 (29m 4s)

states that PrP Sc must contain a small amount of host derived nucleic acid  co-prion or molecule that specifies prions infectivity Co-prion is encased in the infectious scrapie prion Scrapie prion generated in manner similar to heterodimer hypothesis.

Scene 12 (31m 6s)

IMG0024 pct 00038D3B Dokumente B1BBC634. Nucleation dependent polymerization model (Crystal Seed).

Scene 13 (34m 8s)

The following statement/s are correct. A) Prion proteins contain 3 alpha helices and 1 antiparallel beta sheet. B) prions can be inactivated by standard autoclaving, heat (up to 600 °C ) and treatment with 2 N HCl C) Prion protein is contributing to synaptic transmission, normal circadian activity and long-term memory and is required to develop a prion disorder D) Retroviruses act as rickshaws for prion release E) Prions are not viruses and they replicate in a process similar to permanent wave production.

Scene 14 (34m 26s)

Is BSE transmissible to humans?.

Scene 15 (35m 3s)

IMG0036 pct 00038D3B Dokumente B1BBC634. 1.) Macaques inoculated with BSE in the brain or feeded with BSE show the same plaque morphology as vCJD patients.
