The cellular prion protein (PrP^C) is a kind of cell-surface Cu^2+-binding glycoprotein. The oligomerization of PrP^C is highly related to transmissible spongiform encephalopathies (TSEs). Cu^2+ plays a vital ro...

Prion diseases and prion-like protein misfolding diseases involve the accumulation of abnormally aggregated forms of the normal host proteins, such as prion protein and Tau protein. These proteins are special because ...
Viral infection triggers the innate antiviral response in part through acti- vation of RIG-I, a cytoplasmic sensor of 5'-triphosphorylated and uncapped single- or double-stranded RNA, which are not found among endoge...

Bovine spongiform encephalopathy (BSE) is thought to be caused by prions initially derived from sheep scrapie, and epidemiological studies suggest that new viriant form of CJD manifest in Great Britain may be caused...
The copper-binding, membrane-anchored, cellular prion protein (PrP~) has two constitutive cleavage sites producing distinct N- and C-terminal fragments (N1/C1 and N2/C2). Using RK13 cells expressing either human P...
