Effect of hydrophobic mutations in the H2-H3 subdomain of prion protein on stability and conversion in vitro and in vivo.
Prion diseases are fatal neurodegenerative diseases, which can be acquired, sporadic or genetic, the latter being linked to mutations in the gene encoding prion protein. We have recently described the importance of subdomain separation in the conversion of prion protein (PrP). The goal of the presen...
