Prion protein self-peptides modulate prion interactions and conversion

BACKGROUND: Molecular mechanisms underlying prion agent replication, converting host-encoded cellular prion protein (PrP(C)) into the scrapie associated isoform (PrP(Sc)), are poorly understood. Selective self-interaction between PrP molecules forms a basis underlying the observed differences of the...
