Explain
Explain the publication in plain
language, and link it to related resources that further help to
explain it or set it in context
Alternative title – more meaningful
outside context of wider book
Simple summary of
what the work is about and why it’s important

How Kudos is different – explaining The glaucoma-associated olfactomedin domain of myocilin (myoc-OLF) is a recent addition to the growing list of disease-associated amyloidogenic proteins. Inherited, disease-causing myocilin variants aggregate intracellularly instead of being secreted to the trabecular meshwork, which is a scenario toxic to trabecular meshwork cells and leads to early onset of ocular hypertension, the major risk factor for glaucoma. Here we systematically structurally and biophysically dissected myoc-OLF to better understand its amyloidogenesis. Under mildly destabilizing conditions, wild-type myoc-OLF adopts non-native structures that readily fibrillize when incubated at a temperature just below the transition for tertiary unfolding. With buffers at physiological pH, two main endpoint fibril morphologies are observed: (a) straight fibrils common to many amyloids and (b) unique micron-length, ~ 300 nm or larger diameter, species that lasso oligomers, which also exhibit classical spectroscopic amyloid signatures. Three disease-causing variants investigated herein exhibit non-native tertiary structures under physiological conditions, leading to a variety of growth rates and a fibril morphologies. In particular, the well-documented D380A variant, which lacks calcium, forms large circular fibrils. Two amyloid-forming peptide stretches have been identified, one for each of the main fibril morphologies observed. Our study places myoc-OLF within the larger landscape of the amylome and provides insight into the diversity of myoc-OLF aggregation that plays a role in glaucoma pathogenesis.
How Kudos is different - explainingpeople within your field to skim and scan more publications
people in adjacent fields to understand the relevance of your work to what they are doing
people outside academia to get a handle on research and apply it in non-academic ways
people searching lay keywordsto find publications otherwise “hidden” from them
people who can access it to actually understand it!

How Kudos is different – measuring
Gathering multiple publication metrics
Mapping these directlyagainst communication
actions to show howsimple efforts generate
worthwhile results
Across all publishers and all communicationsmedia / networks
(avoiding “walled garden” metrics that only reflect
a subset of the community)
usage of full-text articles tripledfor those authors using the Kudos tools

Effort? Time taken to explain, enrich
and share articles is not
onerous; metrics help provide a ‘reward’ for the effort involved

A new article you want to let people know about
A book chapter to which you want to draw attention
Some research you want to set in a new context
Some work you felt was overlooked
A publication that relates to a current news story

DON’T claim everything you’ve ever published straight away – try the system out with just one or two publications
DO connect your Kudos account with your ORCID if you have one, to streamline the claiming process
DON’T forget to look back tomorrow to see the results of your efforts
DO try it out for more of your publications
once you’ve proven that it works!
Top tips!
