Table of Contents:
  • Contents: Prions (infectious proteins) include several self-propagating amyloids of S. cerevisiae and Podospora anserina and a self-activating enzyme of S. cerevisiae
  • these non-chromosomal genetic elements are genes composed of protein, just as nucleic acids can catalyse enzymatic reactions
  • the amyloid-based prions [PSI+] and [URE3] are diseases of yeast, but the [Het-s] prion of Podospora carries out a normal function for that organism, heterokaryon incompatibility.
