Disrupting the cortical actin cytoskeleton points to two distinct mechanisms of yeast [PSI+] prion formation.
Mammalian and fungal prions arise de novo; however, the mechanism is poorly understood in molecular terms. One strong possibility is that oxidative damage to the non-prion form of a protein may be an important trigger influencing the formation of its heritable prion conformation. We have examined th...
