Abstract excerpt
The conformational change of cellular prion protein (PrPC) to its misfolded counterpart, termed PrPSc, is mediated by a hypothesized cellular cofactor. This cofactor is believed to interact directly with certain amino acid residues of PrPC. When these are mutated into cationic amino acid residues, PrPSc formation and prion replication halt in a dominant negative (DN) manner, presumably due to strong binding of...
