Familial prion diseases are thought to result from a change in structure of the mutant prion protein (PrP), which takes a pathogenic conformation. We have examined the role of molecular chaperones in the folding of normal and mutant PrP Q217R (PrP(217)) in transfected neuroblastoma cells. In a previous report we showed that, although most of the PrP(217) forms escape the ... [more]
