Abstract excerpt
The prion protein (PrP) is synthesized in three topologic forms at the endoplasmic reticulum. (sec)PrP is fully translocated into the endoplasmic reticulum lumen, whereas (Ntm)PrP and (Ctm)PrP are single-spanning membrane proteins of opposite orientation. Increased generation of (Ctm)PrP in either transgenic mice or humans is associated with the development of neurodegenerative disease. To study the mechanisms by...
