Heterologous prion-forming proteins interact to cross-seed aggregation in Saccharomyces cerevisiae

Abstract The early stages of protein misfolding remain incompletely understood, as most mammalian proteinopathies are only detected after irreversible protein aggregates have formed. Cross-seeding, where one aggregated protein templates the misfolding of a heterologous protein, is one mechanism prop...
