2011, Journal of Biological ChemistryCitation Excerpt :Fig. 8 schematically describes temperature-dependent reversible aggregation and long range inter-domain interactions observed with Cu2+-bound PrP(23–231). PrP (Fig. 8, panel 1) shows interaction of the N-terminal region with the C-terminal region at helix-2 and -3 (residues 187–193 and 217–226, respectively) (green arrow) as reported earlier (55–57). At 37 °C, upon Cu2+ addition, our studies suggest interaction of the N-terminal flexible domain with helix-1 and its nearby loop region (Fig. 8, panel 2, blue arrow).
