摘要

朊病毒是与致命的神经退行性疾病(即朊病毒病)有关的蛋白质感染性颗粒。在此,我们将概述朊病毒生物学,强调朊病毒的结构、功能和进化方面,以及它们在蛋白质工程中的潜在应用。了解健康朊病毒蛋白和疾病相关朊病毒蛋白的结构-功能关系,有助于加深对朊病毒诱导神经毒性机制的理解。此外,我们还描述了对朊病毒进化的洞察如何开始揭示其古老的起源和进化复原能力,从而更深入地了解朊病毒在原始化学过程中的潜在作用。

Prions: structure, function, evolution, and disease

Prions are proteinaceous infectious particles implicated in fatal neurodegenerative disorders known as prion diseases. Herein, we provide an overview of prion biology, emphasizing the structural, functional, and evolutionary aspects of prions, along with their potential applications in protein engineering. Understanding the structure-function relationships of both healthy and disease-associated prion proteins enables a deeper understanding of the mechanisms of prion-induced neurotoxicity. Furthermore, we describe how insights into prion evolution have begun to shed light on their ancient origins and evolutionary resilience, offering deeper insights into the potential roles of prions in primordial chemical processes.

期刊介绍: Research papers must make a significant and original contribution to microbiology and be of interest to a broad readership. The results of any experimental approach that meets these objectives are welcome, particularly biochemical, molecular genetic, physiological, and/or physical investigations into microbial cells and their interactions with their environments, including their eukaryotic hosts. Mini-reviews in areas of special topical interest and papers on medical microbiology, ecology and systematics, including description of novel taxa, are also published. Theoretical papers and those that report on the analysis or ''mining'' of data are acceptable in principle if new information, interpretations, or hypotheses emerge.
