Abstract excerpt
Although propagation of Saccharomyces cerevisiae prions requires Hsp104 protein disaggregating activity, overproducing Hsp104 "cures" cells of [PSI(+)] prions. Earlier evidence suggests that the Hsp70 mutant Ssa1-21 impairs [PSI(+)] by a related mechanism. Here, we confirm this link by finding that deletion of STI1 both suppresses Ssa1-21 impairment of [PSI(+)] and blocks Hsp104 curing of [PSI(+)]. Hsp104's...
