Stemming from the PrP protein in mammals, they can "cluster," forming randomly distributed amyloid fibers which resemble those found in Alzheimer's patients.
They are the causative agent of URE-3, which kills yeast cells by reducing their nitrogen intake. Stemming from the PrP protein in mammals, they can "cluster," forming randomly distributed amyloid fibers which resemble those found in Alzheimer's patients. They were first hypothesized by Stanley Prusiner to explain scrapie in sheep. For 10 points—name these self- replicating infectious proteins which cause kuru, Creutzfeld-Jakob (YAH-kub) syndrome, and mad cow disease.
