Abstract:
:Prions constitute a rare class of protein, which can switch to a robust amyloid form and then propagate that form in the absence of a nucleic acid determinant, thereby creating a unique, protein-only infectious agent. Details of the mechanism that drives conversion to the prion form and then subsequent propagation of that form are beginning to emerge using a range of in vivo and in vitro approaches. Recent studies on both mammalian and fungal prions are providing a greater understanding of the structural features that distinguish prions from non-transmissible amyloids.
