Most pathogenic mutations do not alter the membrane topology of the prion protein.

The Journal of biological chemistry - 19 Jan 2001

Stewart R S, Harris D A

Abstract excerpt

The prion protein (PrP), a glycolipid-anchored membrane glycoprotein, contains a conserved hydrophobic sequence that can span the lipid bilayer in either direction, resulting in two transmembrane forms designated (Ntm)PrP and (Ctm)PrP. Previous studies have shown that the proportion of (Ctm)PrP is increased by mutations in the membrane-spanning segment, and it has been hypothesized that (Ctm)PrP represents a key...
