Abstract excerpt
The [URE3] phenotype in Saccharomyces cerevisiae propagates by a prion mechanism, involving the aggregation of the normally soluble and highly helical protein Ure2. Previous data have shown that the protein spontaneously forms in vitro long, straight, insoluble fibrils at neutral pH that are simi...
