Abstract excerpt
Prion diseases are infectious, sporadic and inherited fatal neurodegenerations that are propagated by an abnormal refolding of the cellular prion protein PrP(C). Which chaperones assist the normal folding of PrP(C) is unknown. The linkage of familial Gerstmann- Sträussler-Scheinker (GSS) syndrome with proline substitutions in PrP raised the prospect that peptidylprolyl cis-trans isomerases (PPIases) may play a...
