sub:provenance { sub:assertiondcterms:description "[In the present study, we showed that: (i) human embryonic kidney cells expressing the ILD-associated mutants proSP-C(L188Q) and proSP-C(DeltaExon4) accumulate Congo Red-positive amyloid-like inclusions, whereas cells transfected with the mutant proSP-C(I73T) do not; (ii) transfection of CTC into cells expressing proSP-C(L188Q) results in a stable CTC-proSP-C(L188Q) complex, increased proSP-C(L188Q) half-life and reduced formation of Congo Red-positive deposits; (iii) replacement of the metastable polyvaline transmembrane segment with a stable polyleucine transmembrane segment likewise prevents formation of amyloid-like proSP-C(L188Q) aggregates; and (iv) binding of recombinant CTC to non-helical SP-C blocks SP-C amyloid fibril formation.].
