Functional prions are likely to have a distinctive regulatable structure. The coiled-coils of the prion domains are stacked together, exposed, and free to bind mRNAs on the surface of the β-sheet fiber-axis scaffold. This structure can allow the coordinated translation of the population of interrelated mRNAs required for stabilization of synaptic growth.
