Critical Significance of the Region between Helix 1 and 2 for Efficient Dominant-Negative Inhibition by Conversion-Incompetent Prion Protein

Prion diseases are fatal infectious neurodegenerative disorders in man and animals associated with the accumulation of the pathogenic isoform PrP(Sc) of the host-encoded prion protein (PrP(c)). A profound conformational change of PrP(c) underlies formation of PrP(Sc) and prion propagation involves c...
