Prions were originally defined as infectious agents of protein nature, which caused neurodegenerative diseases in animals and humans. The prion concept implies that the infectious agent is a protein in special conformation that can be transmitted to the normal molecules of the same protein through protein-protein interactions.

The Prion Concept and Synthetic Prions
2017Transmissible spongiform encephalopathies or prion diseases are a group of fatal neurodegenerative diseases caused by unconventional infectious agents, known as prions (PrPSc). Prions derive from a conformational conversion of the normally folded prion protein (PrPC), which acquires pathological and infectious features.

There have been remarkably rapid advances in the understanding of prion diseases over the past year. The controversial notion that the transmissible agent may be an abnormal isoform of a host-encoded protein, the prion protein, is now gaining wide acceptance.

Prion diseases are degenerative disorders of the nervous system caused by transmissible particles that contain a pathogenic isoform of the prion protein, a normal constituent of cell membranes. The most common human prion disease is Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease (CJD). Most cases are sporadic with unknown mode of transmission, 10-15% of cases are inherited,

Aptamers against prion proteins and prions
Cellular and Molecular Life Sciences, 2009Prion diseases are fatal neurodegenerative and infectious disorders of humans and animals, characterized by structural transition of the host-encoded cellular prion protein (PrP(c)) into the aberrantly folded pathologic isoform PrP(Sc). RNA, DNA or peptide aptamers are classes of molecules which can be selected from complex combinatorial libraries for ...

Prion Diseases and Emerging Prion Diseases
Current Medicinal Chemistry, 2008Transmissible spongiform encephalopathies (TSEs), also called prion diseases, are fatal neurodegenerative disorders. An abnormal isoform of the prion protein (PrP(Sc)) generated by post-translational modification of the cellular prion protein (PrP(C)) is believed to be the main component of this infectious agent.

Immunology of Prion Protein and Prions
2017Many natural prion diseases are acquired peripherally, such as following the oral consumption of contaminated food or pasture. After peripheral exposure many prion isolates initially accumulate to high levels within the host's secondary lymphoid tissues. The replication of prions within these tissues is essential for their efficient spread to the brain

Prion and Non-prion Amyloids of the HET-s Prion forming Domain
Journal of Molecular Biology, 2007HET-s is a prion protein of the fungus Podospora anserina. A plausible structural model for the infectious amyloid fold of the HET-s prion-forming domain, HET-s(218-289), makes it an attractive system to study structure-function relationships in amyloid assembly and prion propagation.

Neurodegenerative diseases of animals and humans including scrapie, bovine spongiform encephalopathy, and Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease are caused by unusual infectious pathogens called prions. There is no evidence for a nucleic acid in the prion, but diverse experimental results indicate that a host-derived protein called PrPSc is a component of the ...
