Prion-associated increases in Src-family kinases.

Abstract excerpt

The prion diseases result from the generation and propagation of an abnormal conformer of the prion protein. It is unclear how this molecular event disrupts neuronal function and viability. Current evidence argues it is not due to loss of normal prion protein activity or direct toxic effects of the abnormal conformer. Both the normal and abnormal prion proteins are glycosylphosphatidylinositol-linked membrane...
