Abstract excerpt
The prion protein (PrP) can adopt multiple membrane topologies, including a fully translocated form (SecPrP), two transmembrane forms (NtmPrP and CtmPrP), and a cytosolic form. It is important to understand the factors that influence production of these species, because two of them, CtmPrP and cytosolic PrP, have been proposed to be key neurotoxic intermediates in certain prion diseases. In this paper, we perform...
