abstract = {Prion diseases are characterized by the conformational
transition of the cellular prion protein (PrP(C)) into an
aberrant protein conformer, designated scrapie-prion protein
(PrP(Sc)). A causal link between protein misfolding and
neurodegeneration has been established for a variety of
neurodegenerative disease, such as Alzheimer's disease,
Parkinson's disease and polyglutamine diseases, but there is
an ongoing debate about the nature of the neurotoxic species
and how non-native conformers can damage neuronal
populations. PrP is normally imported into the endoplasmic
reticulum (ER) and targeted to the outer leaflet of the
plasma membrane via a glycosylphosphatidylinositol (GPI)
anchor. However, several conditions, such as ER stress or
some pathogenic mutations in the PrP gene, can induce the
mislocalization of PrP in the cytosol, where it has a
neurotoxic potential as demonstrated in cell culture and
transgenic mouse models. In this review we focus on
intrinsic factors and cellular pathways implicated in the
import of PrP into the ER and its mistargeting to the
cytosol. The findings summarized here not only reveal a
complex regulation of the biogenesis of PrP, but also
provide interesting new insight into toxic activities of
pathogenic protein conformers and quality control pathways
of ER-targeted proteins.},
