Regulation of sub-compartmental targeting and folding properties of the Prion-like protein Shadoo

Abstract Shadoo (Sho), a member of prion protein family, has been shown to prevent embryonic lethality in Prnp 0/0 mice and to be reduced in the brains of rodents with terminal prion diseases. Sho can also affect PrP structural dynamics and can increase the prion conversion into its misfolded isofor...
