INDUCING DISTINCT YEAST PRION STRAINS:©2004 Nature Publishing Group[PSI+] using amyloid fibers derived from a recombinant Sup35p fragment [Sup-NM] at 4°C, 23°C and 37°C. White and pink and/or sectored ...

In the March 18 Nature, two papers based on studies of prion infections of yeast report that the conformational differences in the infecting prions determine strain variation. Lab safety rules dictate ...

Peter Tessier, a postdoc in Susan Lindquist's laboratory at the Whitehead Institute was interested in addressing some fundamental questions about the biology of a yeast prion called Sup35.
