Tóm tắt

Prion là các tác nhân gây bệnh chứa protein, chịu trách nhiệm cho nhiều bệnh thoái hóa thần kinh khác nhau ở động vật và con người. Prion được hình thành từ các protein prion mã hóa bởi vật chủ (PrPC) bị gấp nếp sai, giàu kiểu ß và hợp lại với nhau (PrPSc). Sự tái bản của prion bắt nguồn từ khả năng tự tái bản của PrPSc thông qua quá trình chuyển đổi và polymer hóa PrPC. Một câu hỏi đặt ra là các cơ chế phân tử của sự tái bản prion, sự xâm nhập của vật chủ, và khả năng lây nhiễm sang các loài khác. Việc nghiên cứu những cơ chế này đã trở nên phức tạp hơn trong những năm gần đây với những bằng chứng cho thấy PrPSc là một protein có tính đa hình. Thực sự có bằng chứng thuyết phục cho sự đa dạng cấu trúc của PrPSc ở các quy mô khác nhau: (i) trong các quần thể vật chủ nhạy cảm với prion với sự tồn tại của các chủng khác nhau có các đặc điểm sinh học cụ thể do các dạng cấu hình PrPSc khác nhau, (ii) trong một vật chủ bị nhiễm đơn lẻ với sự đồng phát triển của các chủng khác nhau, và (iii) trong một chủng đơn lẻ với bằng chứng cho sự đồng phát triển của các tập hợp PrPSc khác nhau về cấu trúc thứ cấp đến bậc bốn. Bài tổng quan này tóm tắt kiến thức hiện tại về sự khác biệt trong sự lắp ráp prion, các cơ chế hình thành tiềm năng trong quá trình tái bản, và tầm quan trọng khi vượt qua rào cản loài.
