THE CRYSTAL STRUCTURE OF THE GLOBULAR DOMAIN OF SHEEP PRION PROTEIN
OverviewOverview
The prion protein PrP is a naturally occurring polypeptide that becomes, transformed from a normal conformation to that of an aggregated form, characteristic of pathological states in fatal transmissible spongiform, conditions such as Creutzfeld-Jacob Disease and Bovine Spongiform, Encephalopathy. We report the crystal structure, at 2 A resolution, of, residues 123-230 of the C-terminal globular domain of the ARQ allele of, sheep prion protein (PrP). The asymmetric unit contains a single molecule, whose secondary structure and overall organisation correspond to those, structures of PrPs from various mammalian species determined by NMR. The, globular domain shows a close association of helix-1, the C-terminal, portion of helix-2 and the N-terminal portion of helix-3, bounded by the, ... [(full description)]
