Prion replication without host adaptation during interspecies transmissions.
Adaptation of prions to new species is thought to reflect the capacity of the host-encoded cellular form of the prion protein (PrPC) to selectively propagate optimized prion conformations from larger ensembles generated in the species of origin. Here we describe an alternate replicative process, termed nonadaptive prion amplification (NAPA), in which dominant conformers bypass this requirement ...
متن کاملAdaptation and selection of prion protein strain conformations following interspecies transmission of transmissible mink encephalopathy.
Interspecies transmission of the transmissible spongiform encephalopathies (TSEs), or prion diseases, can result in the adaptation and selection of TSE strains with an expanded host range and increased virulence such as in the case of bovine spongiform encephalopathy and variant Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease. To investigate TSE strain adaptation, we serially passaged a biological clone of transmiss...
متن کاملForce Adaptation in Robot Transmissions
In this work the theoretical bases of the force adaptation in robot transmissions are stated. The force adaptation in robot transmissions considers creation, research and designing of robots with adaptive electric drives of modules. The adaptive drive contains the electric motor and the adaptive gear mechanism possessing property independently to change output speed of movement depending on loa...
متن کاملFamilial Prion Disease Cases Without Mutation in PRNPGene
Phosphorus (P), in the form of phosphate ion (Pi), is a vital element contributing in biomolecule structures, metabolic reactions, signaling pathways and energy transfer within the living cells. The objective of the present study was to assess the influence of fungal infection on Pi metabolism in compare to the effects of phosphate stress in Arabidopsis. Quantification of total P contents showe...
متن کاملTracing conformational transition of abnormal prion proteins during interspecies transmission by using novel antibodies.
Conformational differences in abnormal prion proteins (PrP(Sc)) have been postulated to produce different prion phenotypes. During the interspecies transmission of prions, the conformation of PrP(Sc) may change with passage; however, little is known about the mechanism of PrP(Sc) transition. In this study, novel PrP(Sc)-specific monoclonal antibodies (mAbs) were developed that could detect the ...
