Accelerated protein damage in brains of PIMT +/− mice; a possible model for the variability of cognitive decline in human aging

Isoaspartate formation is a common type of protein damage normally kept in check by the repair enzyme protein-L-isoaspartyl methyltransferase (PIMT). Mice with a knockout of the gene (Pcmt1) for this enzyme (KO −/−) exhibit a pronounced neuropathology with fatal epileptic seizures at 30-60 days. HZ...
