The [PSI+] prion exists as a dynamic cloud of variants.
[PSI(+)] is an amyloid-based prion of Sup35p, a subunit of the translation termination factor. Prion "strains" or "variants" are amyloids with different conformations of a single protein sequence, conferring different phenotypes, but each relatively faithfully propagated. Wild Sa...
