Support for the prion hypothesis for inheritance of a phenotypic trait in yeast.

Science (New York, N.Y.) - 2 Aug 1996

Patino M M, Liu J J, Glover J R, Lindquist S

Abstract excerpt

A cytoplasmically inherited genetic element in yeast, [PSI+], was confirmed to be a prionlike aggregate of the cellular protein Sup35 by differential centrifugation analysis and microscopic localization of a Sup35-green fluorescent protein fusion. Aggregation depended on the intracellular concent...
