Abstract excerpt
Recognition that common human amyloidoses are prion diseases makes the use of the Saccharomyces cerevisiae prion model systems to screen for possible anti-prion components of increasing importance. [PSI+] and [URE3] are amyloid-based prions of Sup35p and Ure2p, respectively. Yeast has at least six anti-prion systems that together cure nearly all [PSI+] and [URE3] prions arising in their absence. We made a...
