The evolution of the evolvability properties of the yeast prion [PSI+].

Evolution; international journal of organic evolution - 1 Jul 2003

Masel Joanna, Bergman Aviv

Abstract excerpt

Saccharomyces cerevisiae's ability to form the prion [PSI+] may increase the rate of evolvability, defined as the rate of appearance of heritable and potentially adaptive phenotypic variants. The increase in evolvability occurs when the appearance of the prion causes read-through translation and...
