Mechanism of Prion Propagation: Amyloid Growth Occurs by Monomer Addition (2004)

Sean R. Collins, Adam Douglass, Ronald D. Vale, Jonathan S. Weissman

Polymerization of the amyloidogenic yeast prion protein Sup35 occurs by monomer addition in a reaction distinct from formation of potentially toxic oligomeric intermediates.

Mechanism of Prion Propagation: Amyloid Growth Occurs by Monomer Addition (2004)

Sean R. Collins, Adam Douglass, Ronald D. Vale, Jonathan S. Weissman

Abundant nonfibrillar oligomeric intermediates are a common feature of amyloid formation, and these oligomers, rather than the final fibers, have been suggested to be the toxic species in some...

Dissection and Design of Yeast Prions (2004)

Lev Z. Osherovich, Brian S. Cox, Mick F. Tuite, Jonathan S. Weissman

Artificial prions - infectious, misfolded proteins - can be created by fusing the replication element of one prion to aggregation sequences from another.

Dissection and Design of Yeast Prions (2004)

Lev Z. Osherovich, Brian S. Cox, Mick F. Tuite, Jonathan S. Weissman

Many proteins can misfold into β-sheet-rich, self-seeding polymers (amyloids). Prions are exceptional among such aggregates in that they are also infectious. In fungi, prions are not pathogenic but...

roarrays. Rather than (Cox and Walter, 1996; Mori et al., 1996; Sidrauski et al., 1996; Sidrauski and Walter, 1997), and ultimately regulating only ER-resident chaperones and phospholipid...

A census of glutamine/asparagine-rich regions: Implications for their conserved function and the prediction of novel prions

Michelitsch, Melissa D., Weissman, Jonathan S.

Glutamine/asparagine (Q/N)-rich domains have a high propensity to form self-propagating amyloid fibrils. This phenomenon underlies both prion-based inheritance in yeast and aggregation of a number of...

GroEL-GroES-mediated protein folding requires an intact central cavity

Wang, Jue D., Michelitsch, Melissa D., Weissman, Jonathan S.

The chaperonin GroEL is an oligomeric double ring structure that, together with the cochaperonin GroES, assists protein folding. Biochemical analyses indicate that folding occurs in a cis ternary...

Backup without redundancy: genetic interactions reveal the cost of duplicate gene loss

Ihmels, Jan, Collins, Sean R, Schuldiner, Maya, Krogan, Nevan J, Weissman, Jonathan S

Many genes can be deleted with little phenotypic consequences. By what mechanism and to what extent the presence of duplicate genes in the genome contributes to this robustness against deletions has...

CCR4/NOT complex associates with the proteasome and regulates histone methylation

Laribee, R. Nicholas, Shibata, Yoichiro, Mersman, Douglas P., Collins, Sean R., Kemmeren, Patrick, Roguev, Assen, ...
