“…Surewicz and co-workers (44) have reported that M129V and WT have the same fibril formation kinetics when subjected to mildly denaturing conditions. In that study, the WT and M129V variants did not fibrillate under native conditions when the agitation was slow, in accordance with our previous report on stagnant incubation of WT HuPrP(90 -231) (35). Nevertheless, studies of the D178N mutation in context with either WT or M129V showed faster fibrillation rates both regarding a shorter lag phase and faster growth rate when in context with Met in position 129 (44).…”

“…The ensembles of individual mutant trajectories of identical samples revealed that the protein showed a rather variable lag phase, indicating that PrP fibrillation kinetics is a process with a stochastic component, which appeared to be mutation-dependent. This notion is consistent with previous data showing an initial aggregation reaction preceding fibril formation, which renders a kinetic trap from which fibrils protrude (35). This is the background for the variations noted in the fibrillation trajectories.…”
