Abstract excerpt
A valine to isoleucine mutation at residue 180 was identified in a French patient with Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease (CJD). The mutation is located in the close vicinity of one of the two N-glycosylation sites of the cellular prion protein (PrP(C)). Western blot analysis revealed accumulation in the brain of the pathogenic proteinase K-resistant PrP (PrP(Sc)) isoform with the notable absence of the diglycosylated...
