朊病毒是一种罕见的蛋白质感染因子,通常与一类哺乳动物脑的致命性退行性疾病有关。然而,真菌朊病毒的发现,这是不相关的疾病,表明我们现在必须考虑这些因素对基本细胞生理学的影响,在不同的光。真菌朊病毒是表观遗传决定因素,可以改变一系列细胞过程,包括代谢和基因表达途径,这些变化可以导致一系列朊病毒相关表型。朊病毒在哺乳动物和真菌中繁殖的机制相似性表明朊病毒不是一种生物学异常,而是一种新的受到重视的、可能普遍存在的调节机制。
Prions are unusual proteinaceous infectious agents that are typically associated with a class of fatal degenerative diseases of the mammalian brain. However, the discovery of fungal prions, which are not associated with disease, suggests that we must now consider the impact of these factors on basic cellular physiology in a different light. Fungal prions are epigenetic determinants that can alter a range of cellular processes, including metabolism and gene expression pathways, and these changes can lead to a range of prion-associated phenotypes. The mechanistic similarities between prion propagation in mammals and fungi suggest that prions are not a biological anomaly but instead are a new appreciated and perhaps ubiquitous regulatory mechanism.
