Fig.3. Prion domains.

Fig.3.

The portion of the molecule that actually forms amyloid and is essential and sufficient for prion propagation is shown diagramatically. Note that the precise borders of the prion domain depend on the prion variant (e.g. (Bradley and Liebman 2004; Chang et al. 2008)). The prion domains of Ure2p and Sup35p each have non-prion functions as well. The common polymorphisms of Sup35p that give rise to intraspecies barriers (Bateman and Wickner 2012) are shown. Modified from Wickner et al., 2008.
