Heritable yeast prions have a highly organized three-dimensional architecture with interfiber structures
Yeast prions constitute a “protein-only” mechanism of inheritance that is widely deployed by wild yeast to create diverse phenotypes. One of the best-characterized prions, [PSI+], is governed by a conformational change in the prion domain of Sup35, a translation-termination factor. When this domain...
