摘要: The abnormal form of the prion protein has increased resistance to protease digestion and is insoluble in non-ionic detergents. normal modified by non-obligatory addition two N-linked glycans. One pathogenic mutation, Thr Ala at residue 183 human protein, blocks first glycan Asp 181. This mutation been reported result intracellular retention mutant its acquisition properties, presumably due lack glycan. We report that 181 not responsible for block transport or pathogen-like rather, itself probable cause phenotype.
