Abstract excerpt
We previously showed that over production of a fusion protein in which the prion domain of Saccharomyces cerevisiae [PSI(+)] is connected to glutathione S-transferase (GST-Sup35NM) causes a marked decrease in the colony forming ability of Escherichia coli strain BL21 after reaching stationary phase. Evidence indicated that the observed toxicity was attributable to intracellular formation of fibrous aggregates of...
