Heritable activity: a prion that propagates by covalent autoactivation
Article Abstract:
Research has been conducted on infectious proteins prions. The authors demonstrate that yeast protease B is a prion, which is infectious and reversibly curable, and which is induced via pro-protease overexpression.
