Substitutions of PrP N-terminal histidine residues modulate scrapie disease pathogenesis and incubation time in transgenic mice
Prion diseases have been linked to impaired copper homeostasis and copper induced-oxidative damage to the brain. Divalent metal ions, such as Cu(2+) and Zn(2+), bind to cellular prion protein (PrP(C)) at octapeptide repeat (OR) and non-OR sites within the N-terminal half of the protein but informati...
