Abstract excerpt
The glycosylation state of the glycosyl-phosphatidylinositol (GPI) anchored cellular prion protein (PrPC) can influence the formation of the disease form of the protein responsible for the neurodegenerative spongiform encephalopathies. We have investigated the role of membrane topology in the N-glycosylation of PrP by expressing a C-terminal transmembrane anchored form, PrP-CTM, an N-terminal transmembrane...
