  • A structural basis for prion strain diversity

    • Authors : Manka, Szymon W. (2023)

  • Recent cryo-EM studies of infectious, ex vivo, prion fibrils from hamster 263K and mouse RML prion strains revealed a comparable, parallel in-register intermolecular β-sheet (PIRIBS) amyloid architecture. Rungs of the fibrils are composed of individual prion protein (PrP) monomers that fold to create distinct N- and C-terminal lobes. However, disparity in the hamster/mouse PrP sequence precludes understanding how divergent prion strains emerge ...
