Abstract excerpt
Prion diseases are fatal and transmissible neurodegenerative disorders characterized by the accumulation of an abnormally folded isoform of the cellular prion protein (PrP(C)) denoted PrP(Sc). To identify intracellular organelles involved in PrP(Sc) formation, we studied the role of the Ras-related GTP-binding proteins Rab4 and Rab6a in intracellular trafficking of the prion protein and production of PrP(Sc)....
