Curing of the [URE3] prion by Btn2p, a Batten disease-related protein

[URE3] is a prion (infectious protein), a self-propagating amyloid form of Ure2p, a regulator of yeast nitrogen catabolism. We find that overproduction of Btn2p, or its homologue Ypr158 (Cur1p), cures [URE3]. Btn2p is reported to be associated with late endosomes and to affect sorting of several pro...
