abstract = {Prions are self-templating protein conformers that
replicate by recruitment and conversion of homotypic
proteins into growing protein aggregates. Originally
identified as causative agents of transmissible spongiform
encephalopathies, increasing evidence now suggests that
prion-like phenomena are more common in nature than
previously anticipated. In contrast to fungal prions that
replicate in the cytoplasm, propagation of mammalian prions
derived from the precursor protein PrP is confined to the
cell membrane or endocytic vesicles. Here we demonstrate
that cytosolic protein aggregates can also behave as
infectious entities in mammalian cells. When expressed in
the mammalian cytosol, protein aggregates derived from the
prion domain NM of yeast translation termination factor
Sup35 persistently propagate and invade neighboring cells,
thereby inducing a self-perpetuating aggregation state of
NM. Cell contact is required for efficient infection.
Aggregates can also be induced in primary astrocytes,
neurons, and organotypic cultures, demonstrating that this
phenomenon is not specific to immortalized cells. Our data
have important implications for understanding prion-like
phenomena of protein aggregates associated with human
diseases and for the growing number of amyloidogenic
proteins discovered in mammals.},
