Citation | Journal: Mol Cell / Year: 2021Title: High-resolution structure and strain comparison of infectious mammalian prions. Authors: Allison Kraus / Forrest Hoyt / Cindi L Schwartz / Bryan Hansen / Efrosini Artikis / Andrew G Hughson / Gregory J Raymond / Brent Race / Gerald S Baron / Byron Caughey / ![]() Abstract: Within the extensive range of self-propagating pathologic protein aggregates of mammals, prions are the most clearly infectious (e.g., ∼10 lethal doses per milligram). The structures of such lethal ...Within the extensive range of self-propagating pathologic protein aggregates of mammals, prions are the most clearly infectious (e.g., ∼10 lethal doses per milligram). The structures of such lethal assemblies of PrP molecules have been poorly understood. Here we report a near-atomic core structure of a brain-derived, fully infectious prion (263K strain). Cryo-electron microscopy showed amyloid fibrils assembled with parallel in-register intermolecular β sheets. Each monomer provides one rung of the ordered fibril core, with N-linked glycans and glycolipid anchors projecting outward. Thus, single monomers form the templating surface for incoming monomers at fibril ends, where prion growth occurs. Comparison to another prion strain (aRML) revealed major differences in fibril morphology but, like 263K, an asymmetric fibril cross-section without paired protofilaments. These findings provide structural insights into prion propagation, strains, species barriers, and membrane pathogenesis. This structure also helps frame considerations of factors influencing the relative transmissibility of other pathologic amyloids. | |||||||||

Auto-refinement with refinement of twist and rise yielded a final map with a twist of -0.847 degree and rise of 4.874 angstrom. Iterative cycles of CTF refinement, Bayesian polishing, and auto refinement were used until resolution estimates stabilized. Post processing in RELION was performed with a soft-edged mask representing 10% of the central Z length of the fibril. Sharpening was applied with a B-factor of -31 square angstrom.
