Conservation of Prion-Like Composition and Sequence in Prion-Formers and Prion-Like Proteins of Saccharomyces cerevisiae

Prions in eukaryotes have been linked to diseases, evolutionary capacitance, large-scale genetic control, and long-term memory formation. Prion formation and propagation have been studied extensively in the budding yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae. Here, we have analysed the conservation of sequence a...
