An intrinsically disordered yeast prion arrests the cell cycle by sequestering a spindle pole body component

Intrinsically disordered proteins play causative roles in many human diseases. Their overexpression is toxic in many organisms, but the causes of toxicity are opaque. In this paper, we exploit yeast technologies to determine the root of toxicity for one such protein, the yeast prion Rnq1. This prote...
