Propagating prions in fungi and mammals.

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.

  • Interleukin 2 receptors and detergent-resistant membrane domains define a clathrin-independent endocytic pathway.

    abstract::Clathrin-dependent endocytosis has long been presented as the only efficient mechanism by which transmembrane receptors are internalized. We selectively blocked this process using dominant-negative mutants of Eps15 and showed that clathrin-mediated endocytosis of transferrin was inhibited, while endocytosis of interle...
