Abstract excerpt
Abnormal transport of C-terminally truncated prion protein (PrP) to the nucleus has been reported in cell models of familial prion disorders associated with a stop codon mutation at residues 145 or 160 of the PrP. In both cases, PrP is translocated to the nucleus in an energy-dependent fashion, implying the presence of cryptic nuclear localization signal(s) in this region of PrP. In this report, we describe the...
