Enhancing the removal of aggregate-prone toxic proteins is a rational therapeutic strategy for a number of neurodegenerative diseases, especially Huntington’s disease and various spinocerebellar ataxias. This study shows how a compound binding to VCP D1 ATPase enhances proteasomal neurotoxic protein clearance. Furthermore, our proprietary High-Resolution Limited Proteolysis (HR-LiP) technology was used to 3D-map the binding site of the compound under investigation for potential use in neurodegenerative diseases. As a result, we could confidently validate the binding site on the target and explain the observed phenotype.

Overview: Since the genome remains invariant throughout the lifespan, it is essential to understand the effects of aging on the proteome, as proteins play an integral role in all cellular functions and mediate the effects of epigenetic alterations. At the SfN Annual Meeting we presented a study in collaboration with Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine on proteomic profiling of biomarker candidates for Alzheimer’s Disease in plasma and CSF with our TrueDiscovery™ platform.

The poster discusses plasma and CSF data collected with our TrueDiscovery™ platform in collaboration with The Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine in plasma.
Out of the almost 6,000 proteins identified in CSF and more than 3,000 in plasma from young healthy control subjects, patients with mild cognitive impairment, age-matched healthy controls, and Alzheimer’s patients, we were able to generate a comprehensive and quantitative map of proteomes linked to healthy and pathological aging.
