Octarepeat region flexibility impacts prion function, endoproteolysis and disease manifestation

Abstract The cellular prion protein (PrPC) comprises a natively unstructured N‐terminal domain, including a metal‐binding octarepeat region (OR) and a linker, followed by a C‐terminal domain that misfolds to form PrPSc in Creutzfeldt‐Jakob disease. PrPC β‐endoproteolysis to the C2 fragment allows Pr...
