摘要: Saccharomyces cerevisiae has been a key experimental organism for the study of infectious diseases, including dsRNA viruses, ssRNA viruses and prions. Studies mechanisms virus prion replication, structure amyloid filaments that are basis yeast prions have at forefront such studies in these classes entities. Yeast particularly useful defining interactions elements with cellular components: chromosomally encoded proteins necessary or blocking propagation prions, involved expression viral components. Here we emphasize L-A its killer-toxin-encoding satellites, 20S 23S naked several (prions) yeast.
