Abstract excerpt
Doppel (Dpl) is a homolog of normal cellular prion protein (PrPc) with unknown functions. Ectopic expression of Dpl in the central nervous system (CNS) causes neurotoxicity and this effect is rescued by the expression of PrPc. However, the molecular basis for the protective effect of PrPc remains unclear. Using a yeast two-hybrid system, we showed that Dpl binds the full-length 37-kDa laminin receptor precursor...
