metabolism | the central event in prion infection is the conformational conversion of host-encoded cellular prion protein into the pathogenic isoform. For the in vitro replication of pathogenic prion protein by protein-misfolding cyclic amplification, cofactors are required that are not produced by lower organism, e.g. insects, but by mammalia, e.g. C57BL/6J mice. Brain-derived factors are also necessary for the in vitro replication of glycosylphosphatidylinositol-anchored baculovirus-derived recombinant prion protein. Cofactor activity of insect cell lysates becomes functional after proteinase K digestion and heat treatment, following protease digestion and heat treatment, insect cell lysates had the functional cofactor activity required for Bac-prion protein replication by protein-misfolding cyclic amplification. Not only RNA, but also DNA, are the key components of protein-misfolding cyclic amplification, although other cellular factors were necessary for the expression of the cofactor activity of nucleic acids in insect cells | Parengyodontium album |
additional information | proteinase K-resistant Bac-prion protein is generated by protein-misfolding cyclic amplification using insect cells expressing the protein and prionprotein null mouse brain homogenate | Parengyodontium album |
