PABPN1 (PABP-2) is encoded by chromosome 14 in the human genome and is a polyadenylic acid binding protein (PABP). This protein is located at the nucleus, with a coiled-coil domain at the N-terminal, RNA recognition motif (RRM) in the middle, and a nuclear localization sequence at the C-terminal.
In a new study, researchers found that targeting abnormal tau proteins by suppressing a gene called MSUT2 (mammalian suppressor of tauopathy 2) shows promise. They concluded that as long as an RNA binding protein called PABPN1 (PolyA Binding Protein Nuclear 1) is not exhausted, it may protect people from Alzheimer's disease. MSUT2 and PABPNI usually work closely together to regulate the biological properties of tau in the brain.
Protein aggregation is related to many human diseases, such as Alzheimer's disease (AD). Understanding the molecular mechanism of protein aggregation is critical to the development of treatments. Molecular dynamics (MD) simulation has proven to be a powerful tool for studying protein aggregation. However, it is difficult for traditional MD simulation to sample the entire conformational space of a complex protein system within an acceptable simulation time, because it is easy to fall into a local minimum energy state. Many enhanced sampling methods have been developed. Among them, the replica exchange molecular dynamics (REMD) method is particularly attractive.
