Figure 3. Cell surface pro-PrP and normal, glycosyated, GPI-anchored PrP.

Figure 3

Cell surface pro-PrP is using the GPI-PSS as a transmembrane domain. The GPI-PSS transverses the membrane and interacts with FLNa. The ABD of FLNa binds actin filaments. The normal PrP is GPI-anchored and glycosylated.

ABD: Actin-binding domain; GPI: Glycosylphosphatidylinositol; PrP: Prion protein; PSS: Peptide signal sequence.
