Cytosolic prion protein in neurons.

Localizing the cellular prion protein (PrPC) in the brain is necessary for understanding the pathogenesis of prion diseases. However, the precise ultrastructural localization of PrPC still remains enigmatic. We performed the first quantitative study of the ultrastructural localization of PrPC in the mouse hippocampus using high-resolution cryoimmunogold electron microscopy. PrPC follows the sta...

Protein toxicity: protein aggregation and prion domains

1 7 6 7 jci.org Volume 125 Number 5 May 2015 Introduction Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) is a progressive, fatal disorder of motor neurons that begins focally and spreads, leading to weakness of limb, respiratory, and bulbar muscles. Immediately preceding death, there is a near total loss of limb and respiratory function, as well as a loss of the ability to chew, swallow, and speak. ALS is...

Polythiophenes inhibit prion propagation by stabilizing prion protein (PrP) aggregates.

Luminescent conjugated polymers (LCPs) interact with ordered protein aggregates and sensitively detect amyloids of many different proteins, suggesting that they may possess antiprion properties. Here, we show that a variety of anionic, cationic, and zwitterionic LCPs reduced the infectivity of prion-containing brain homogenates and of prion-infected cerebellar organotypic cultured slices and de...

Recombinant Human Prion Protein Inhibits Prion Propagation in vitro

Prion diseases are associated with the conformational conversion of the cellular prion protein (PrP(C)) into the pathological scrapie isoform (PrP(Sc)) in the brain. Both the in vivo and in vitro conversion of PrP(C) into PrP(Sc) is significantly inhibited by differences in amino acid sequence between the two molecules. Using protein misfolding cyclic amplification (PMCA), we now report that th...

The cellular concentration of the yeast Ure2p prion protein affects its propagation as a prion.

The [URE3] yeast prion is a self-propagating inactive form of the Ure2p protein. We show here that Ure2p from the species Saccharomyces paradoxus (Ure2p(Sp)) can be efficiently converted into a prion form and propagate [URE3] when expressed in Saccharomyces cerevisiae at physiological level. We found however that Ure2p(Sp) overexpression prevents efficient prion propagation. We have compared th...
