Prion switching in response to environmental stress. by Jens Tyedmers, Maria Lucia Madariaga, Susan Lindquist

“…Capacitor systems, which allow the accumulation of cryptic genetic variation and release it under stressful conditions, might provide such a mechanism. In yeast, the prion [PSI(+)] exposes a large array of previously hidden genetic variation, and the phenotypes it thereby produces are advantageous roughly 25% of the time. …”

The Prion Basis of Progressive Neurodegenerative Disorders by Tvisha Joshi, Nidhi Ahuja

“…In contrast, the proteinaceous agents of disease, called prion proteins (PrP), lacked nucleic acids and propagated by binding to the functional, endogenous form of cellular prion protein (referred to as PrPC) and altering its conformation to produce the infectious disease-causing misfolded protein (referred to as PrPSc). …”
