The Evolutionary unZIPping of a Dimerization Motif—A Comparison of ZIP and PrP Architectures
The cellular prion protein, notorious for its causative role in a range of fatal neurodegenerative diseases, evolved from a Zrt-/Irt-like Protein (ZIP) zinc transporter approximately 500 million years ago. Whilst atomic structures for recombinant prion protein (PrP) from various species have been av...
