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 ...

Structural Studies of Prion Proteins and Prions
2011Prion diseases are a group of fatal and incurable neurodegenerative disorders of mammals. They uniquely manifest as sporadic, genetic, and infectious maladies. The agent responsible for prion diseases is the prion. A prion is defined as a proteinaceous infectious particle, which is solely constituted by an alternately folded form of the prion protein (

The fate of the prion protein in the prion/plasminogen complex
Biochemical and Biophysical Research Communications, 2003The cellular prion protein (PrP(c)) forms complexes with plasminogen. Here, we show that the PrP(c) in this complex is cleaved to yield fragments of PrP(c). The cleavage is accelerated by plasmin but does not appear to be dependent on it.

Prion diseases, also known as transmissible spongiform encephalopathies, make up a group of fatal neurodegenerative disorders linked with the misfolding and aggregation of the prion protein (PrP).
