Neuronal <i>Ndst1</i> depletion accelerates prion protein clearance and slows neurodegeneration in prion infection

2023-06-20

Abstract excerpt

Select prion diseases are characterized by widespread cerebral plaque-like deposits of amyloid fibrils enriched in heparan sulfate (HS), a major extracellular matrix component. HS facilitates fibril formation in vitro , yet how HS impacts fibrillar plaque growth within the brain is unclear. Here we found that prion-bound HS chains are highly sulfated, and that the sulfation is essential for HS accelerating prion...
