Abstract excerpt
Prion protein (PrP) contains two N-linked glycosylation sites. It is unknown which amino acid substitution contributes most efficiently to the abolishment of N-linked glycosylations. To define the influence of amino acid substitution at the N-linked glycosylation sites on the conversion efficiency of mouse PrP, we tested each of all 19 amino acid substitutions at either one of the N-linked glycosylation sites...
