Alternative assembly pathways of the amyloidogenic yeast prion determinant Sup35-NM.
The self-perpetuating conformational change of the translation termination factor Sup35 is associated with a prion phenomenon of Saccharomyces cerevisiae. In vitro, the prion-determining region (NM) of Sup35 assembles into amyloid-like fibres through a mechanism of nucleated conformational conversion. Here, we describe an alternative assembly pathway of NM that produces filaments that are compo...
متن کاملSelf-perpetuating changes in Sup35 protein conformation as a mechanism of heredity in yeast.
Recently, a novel mode of inheritance has been described in the yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae. The mechanism is based on the prion hypothesis, which posits that self-perpetuating changes in the conformation of single protein, PrP, underlie the severe neurodegeneration associated with the transmissible spongiform enchephalopathies in mammals. In yeast, two prions, [URE3] and [PSI+], have been i...
متن کاملHsp104, Hsp70 and Hsp40 interplay regulates formation, growth and elimination of Sup35 prions.
Self-templating amyloid forms of Sup35 constitute the yeast prion [PSI(+)]. How the protein-remodelling factor, Hsp104, collaborates with other chaperones to regulate [PSI(+)] inheritance remains poorly delineated. Here, we report how the Ssa and Ssb components of the Hsp70 chaperone system directly affect Sup35 prionogenesis and cooperate with Hsp104. We identify the ribosome-associated Ssb1:Z...
متن کاملDestruction or potentiation of different prions catalyzed by similar Hsp104 remodeling activities.
Yeast prions are protein-based genetic elements that self-perpetuate changes in protein conformation and function. A protein-remodeling factor, Hsp104, controls the inheritance of several yeast prions, including those formed by Sup35 and Ure2. Perplexingly, deletion of Hsp104 eliminates Sup35 and Ure2 prions, whereas overexpression of Hsp104 purges cells of Sup35 prions, but not Ure2 prions. He...
متن کاملYeast prions form infectious amyloid inclusion bodies in bacteria
BACKGROUND Prions were first identified as infectious proteins associated with fatal brain diseases in mammals. However, fungal prions behave as epigenetic regulators that can alter a range of cellular processes. These proteins propagate as self-perpetuating amyloid aggregates being an example of structural inheritance. The best-characterized examples are the Sup35 and Ure2 yeast proteins, corr...
