Here we provide a high (3.0 Å) resolution cryo-electron microscopy-based structure of infectious brain-derived fibrils of the mouse anchorless RML scrapie strain which, like the recently determined hamster 263K strain, has a parallel in-register β-sheet-based core. Several structural motifs are shared between these ex vivo prion strains, including an amino-proximal steric zipper and three β-arches. However, detailed comparisons reveal variations in these shared structural topologies and other features. Unlike 263K and wildtype RML prions, the anchorless RML prions lack glycophosphatidylinositol anchors and are severely deficient in N-linked glycans. Nonetheless, the similarity of our anchorless RML structure to one reported for wildtype RML prion fibrils in an accompanying paper indicates that these post-translational modifications do not substantially alter the amyloid core conformation. This work demonstrates both common and divergent structural features of prion strains at the near-atomic level. #1: ![]() Title: 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. | |||||||||
