Furthermore, targeted disruption of the frizzled-4 gene results in cerebellar abnormalities in mice [ 24 ] . Transgene expression from the PrP promoter is extremely low during embryonic development, with high-level postnatal expression largely restricted to neurons and glia of the CNS [ 25 ] . Transgenic mice expressing either wild-type or mutant β-catenin were generated so that a range of pathway activation could be examined.

  • These “variants” of yeast prions are analogous to different prion “strains” of PrP Sc , which cause versions of the disease with different incubation periods and different patterns of brain pathology.

  • In order to avoid possible in utero lethality caused by excess pathway activity, we used the murine PrP promoter element to construct our transgenic lines.

  • The aggregates of PrP Sc can proliferate within cells and be transmitted to other cells and tissues, leading to the spread of neurotoxicity.

  • Interestingly, the mammalian PrP Sc is fundamentally different from yeast prions, since it lacks a Q/N-rich domain, indicating that distinct structural features are responsible for its ability to form self-propagating aggregates.
