The genetic control of the formation and propagation of the [PSI+] prion of yeast.

Prion - 1 Jan 2000

Tuite Mick F, Cox Brian S

Abstract excerpt

It is over 40 years since it was first reported that the yeast Saccahromyces cerevisiae contains two unusual cytoplasmic 'genetic' elements: [PSI(+)] and [URE3]. Remarkably the underlying determinants are protein-based rather than nucleic acid-based, i.e., that they are prions, and we have already learnt much about their inheritance and phenotypic effects from the application of 'classical' genetic studies...
