  1. ncbi The effects of amino acid composition on yeast prion formation and prion domain interactions
    Eric D Ross
    Department of Biochemistry and Molecular Biology, Colorado State University, Fort Collins, CO, USA
    Prion 4:60-5. 2010
    ..This observation, combined with the growing number of yeast prions, suggests that a broad network of interactions between heterologous glutamine/asparagine-rich proteins may affect yeast prion formation...
  2. ncbi Compositional determinants of prion formation in yeast
    James A Toombs
    Department of Biochemistry and Molecular Biology, Colorado State University, Fort Collins, CO 80523, USA
    Mol Cell Biol 30:319-32. 2010
    ..Additionally, our results explain why traditional amyloid prediction algorithms fail to accurately predict amyloid formation by the glutamine/asparagine-rich yeast prion domains...

    Department of Biochemistry and Molecular Biology, Colorado State University, Fort Collins, Colorado 80523, USA
    Genetics 183:929-40. 2009
    ..Remarkably, all but one of these domains were also able to efficiently increase [URE3] formation. These results suggest that a wide variety of proteins could potentially affect [URE3] formation...

    James A Toombs
    Department of Biochemistry and Molecular Biology, Colorado State University, Fort Collins, Colorado, United States of America
    PLoS ONE 6:e21953. 2011
    ..Furthermore, we demonstrate that compositional requirements for the repeat domain are distinct from those of the nucleation domain, indicating that prion nucleation and propagation are driven by distinct compositional features...
