Implications of the Actin Cytoskeleton on the Multi-Step Process of [PSI+] Prion Formation
Viruses, 2022 Yeast prions are self-perpetuating misfolded proteins that are infectious. In yeast, [PSI+] is the prion form of the Sup35 protein. While the study of [PSI+] has revealed important cellular mechanisms that contribute to prion propagation, the underlying ...

The physical dimensions of amyloid aggregates control their infective potential as prion particles
eLife, 2017 Transmissible amyloid particles called prions are associated with infectious prion diseases in mammals and inherited phenotypes in yeast. All amyloid aggregates can give rise to potentially infectious seeds that accelerate their growth.

Preparation and Physicochemical Properties Analysis of Yeast β-Glucan Nanoparticles
Shipin gongye ke-jiYeast β-glucan was a multifunctional polysaccharide, but it was insoluble in water and present particles. To broaden its applicability, the yeast β-glucan nanoparticles were prepared by ball milling pulverization using yeast cells of Saccharomyces ...

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.Encapsulins are protein nanocompartments that play an important role in iron storage. In the Myxococcus xanthus encapsulin system, two cargo proteins called EncB and EncC contribute to iron mineralization. Here, we show that EncB and EncC generate iron‐containing minerals with distinct chemical compositions, suggesting that the composition of stored ...

Yeast processing bodies and stress granules: self-assembly ribonucleoprotein particles
Microbial Cell Factories, 2011 Processing bodies (PBs) and stress granules (SGs) are two highly conserved cytoplasmic ribonucleoprotein foci that contain translationally repressed mRNAs together with proteins from the mRNA metabolism.
