Analysis of propagation-defective mutations of the yeast (PSI+) prion

Analysis of how prions are propagated and transmitted in the yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae has begun to reveal how an amyloid-forming protein can act as an epigenetic determinant of cell phenotype. Through the ability of prions to self propagate, genetic traits encoded by prions are inherently domi...
