PATHOLOGIC CONFORMATIONS OF PRION PROTEINS

Cohen, Fred E., Prusiner, Stanley B.·1998·Annual Review of Biochemistry

Abstract

While many aspects of prion disease biology are unorthodox, perhaps the most fundamental paradox is posed by the coexistence of inherited, sporadic, and infectious forms of these diseases. Sensible molecular mechanisms for prion propagation must explain all three forms of prion diseases in a manner that is compatible with the formidable array of experimental data derived from histopathological, biochemical, biophysical, human genetic, and transgenetic studies. In this review, we explore prion disease pathogenesis initially from the perspective of an autosomal dominant inherited disease. Subsequently, we examine how an intrinsically inherited disease could present in sporadic and infectious forms. Finally, we explore the phenomenologic constraints on models of prion replication with a specific emphasis on biophysical studies of prion protein structures.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
