Abstract:
:The transmissible spongiform encephalopathies comprise a group of fatal neurodegenerative diseases that are characterized by the conversion of the normal host cellular prion protein (PrPC) to the abnormal protease-resistant isoform PrPSC. Distinct alterations of transcriptional regulation during disease progression could not be observed. The regulation of transcription 5' and 3' to the previously described cap sites of the prion gene mRNA as well as usage of internal short ORF's was investigated. We identified a mRNA species which is expressed differentially in prion-infected mice and in N2A cells. This mRNA is detectable neither in uninfected mice nor in early stages of the disease. The novel mRNA contains two short open reading frames which encode two small peptides with a calculated molecular weight of 2.1 kDA and 0.7 kDa. These peptides were also found to be expressed in vitro and in vivo.
