Abstract excerpt
(Ctm)PrP is a transmembrane version of the prion protein that has been proposed to be a neurotoxic intermediate underlying prion-induced pathogenesis. In previous studies, we found that PrP molecules carrying mutations in the N-terminal signal peptide (L9R) and the transmembrane domain (3AV) were synthesized exclusively in the (Ctm)PrP form in transfected cell lines. To characterize the properties of (Ctm)PrP in...
