Abstract excerpt
Prion diseases are fatal neurodegenerative disorders that result from conversion of a normal, cell surface glycoprotein (PrP(C)) into a conformationally altered isoform (PrP(Sc)) that is thought to be infectious. Although a great deal is known about the role of PrP(Sc) in the disease process, the physiological function of PrP(C) has remained enigmatic. In this report, we have used the yeast Saccharomyces...
