Q

Prions What are they? What dz’s do they cause? Normal vs. pathologic prions?

A

Infectious agents that do not contain RNA or DNA (consist only of proteins); encoded by cellular genes. Dz’s: Creutzfeldt-Jakob dz (CJD – rapidly progressive dementia), kuru, srapie (sheep), mad cow dz Associated w/ spongiform encephalopathy . Normal prions have alpha-helix conformation; pathologic prions (like CJD) are beta-pleated sheets. Pathologic conformation accumulates b/c it is resistant to proteinase digestion.
