Machado-Joseph disease (MJD/SCA3) is an autosomal dominant neurodegenerative disease caused by the expansion of a CAG tract in the coding portion of the ATXN3 gene. The presence of ubiquitin-positive aggregates of the defective protein in affected neurons is characteristic of this and most of the polyglutamine disorders. Recently, the accumulation of the neural precursor cell expressed developmentally downregul...
Machado-Joseph’s disease is caused by a CAG trinucleotide repeat expansion that is translated into an abnormally long polyglutamine tract in the protein ataxin-3. Except for the polyglutamine region, proteins associated with polyglutamine diseases are unrelated, and for all of these diseases aggregates containing these proteins are the major components of the nuclear proteinaceous deposits found in the brain. A...
Plant aspartic proteinases contain a plant-specific insert (PSI) of about 100 amino acids of unknown function with no similarity with the other aspartic proteinases but with significant similarity with saposins, animal sphingolipid activator proteins. PSI has remained elusive at the protein level, suggesting that it may be removed during processing. To understand the molecular relevance of PSI, the proteolytic ...
Dissertação de mestrado em Psicopatologia e Psicologia Clínica ; Este estudo tem por principal objectivo o conhecimento das diferentes formas de concepção da agressão em crianças e pré-adolescentes, tendo em conta a influência de três variáveis: nível de escolaridade ( 20 - 4a ano, 20 - 7o ano), sexo (20 masculino, 20 feminino.) e agressividade (7 - agressivos, 8 - não agressivos). A avaliação da concepção e...
