Beyond PrP res type 1/type 2 dichotomy in Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease [PDF]
Sporadic Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease (sCJD) cases are currently subclassified according to the methionine/valine polymorphism at codon 129 of the PRNP gene and the proteinase K (PK) digested abnormal prion protein (PrPres)identified on Western blotting ...

Prediction of Prion Proteins in E. coli Based on Bimodal Sequence Characteristics
ABSTRACT Prions are infectious proteins that bear misfolded conformations capable of converting folded states into misfolded aggregates under physiologically relevant conditions. In mammals, prions cause deadly maladies including Creutzfeldt‐Jakob and chronic wasting disease. To date, several prion proteins have been identified in eukaryotes, primarily

Horizontal Transmission of Cytosolic Sup35 Prions by Extracellular Vesicles
Prions are infectious protein particles that replicate by templating their aggregated state onto soluble protein of the same type. Originally identified as the causative agent of transmissible spongiform encephalopathies, prions in yeast (Saccharomyces ...

Prion Protein and scrapie susceptibility
This article presents briefly current views on the role of prion protein (PrP) in Transmissible Spongiform Encephalopathies or prion diseases and the effect of PrP polymoryhisms on the susceptibility to these diseases, with special emphasis on sheep scrapie.

This paper estimates the rate of chronic wasting disease spread in multiple regions and compares these rates with model predictions based on deer movement data. Abstract Rare long‐distance movements can increase the spatial spread of invasive species and shifts in species ranges. For wildlife disease spread, however, seasonal migrations may only matter

Biochemical insight into the prion protein family
Prion protein family comprises proteins, which share not only similarity in their primary structure, but also similarity in their fold. These two groups of similarity presume a parceling in their respective biological function through the common ...

Beta amyloid diffuse plaques, neurofibrillary tangles and neuritic plaques, are increased in densities at the intermediate stage of Alzheimer's neuropathological change. These pathological changes releasing Pathogen‐Associated Molecular Patterns (PAMPs) and Damage‐Associated Molecular Patterns (DAMPs).
