The challenge now will be to establish whether CPEB can exist as a self-propagating aggregate in Aplysia or mammalian neurons.
The first indication that mammalian proteins with Q/N-rich domains can form self-propagating prions came from recent work with a regulator of translation cytoplasmic polyadenylation element-binding protein (CPEB) from Aplysia neurons (Si et al.
Furthermore, full-length Aplysia CPEB protein, when cloned in yeast, can also exist in two distinct states, soluble and aggregated, which is an inherited feature.

Very unexpectedly, unlike other prions, the aggregated state of CPEB was more functionally active than the soluble form (Si et al.
