Flexibility of the Ure2 prion domain is important for amyloid fibril formation.

Abstract excerpt

Ure2, the protein determinant of the Saccharomyces cerevisiae prion [URE3], has a natively disordered N-terminal domain that is important for prion formation in vivo and amyloid formation in vitro; the globular C-domain has a glutathione transferase-like fold. In the present study, we swapped the position of the N- and C-terminal regions, with or without an intervening peptide linker, to create the Ure2 variants...
