Divergent CPEB prion-like domains reveal different assembly mechanisms for a generic amyloid-like fold

Abstract Background Amyloids are ordered, insoluble protein aggregates, characterized by a cross-β sheet quaternary structure in which molecules in a β-strand conformation are stacked along the filament axis via intermolecular interactions. While amyloids are typically associated with pathological c...
