The evolutionary scope and neurological disease linkage of yeast-prion-like proteins in humans

26 Jul 2016

Abstract excerpt

BACKGROUND: Prions are proteinaceous particles that propagate alternative protein conformations/states to further copies of the same proteins, and are transmitted from cell-to-cell, and organism-to-organism. Prions are usually made of the beta-sheet rich assemblies termed amyloid. The original prion protein PrP causes devastating neurodegenerative disorders in humans and other mammals. In the yeast Saccharomyces...
