Interaction of a Recombinant Prion Protein with Organo-Mineral Complexes as Assessed by FT-IR and CPMAS 13C NMR Analysis

Abstract: Prion proteins are considered as the main agents for the Transmissible Spongiform Encephalopathies (TSE). The misfolded form, PrP Sc , which is also indicated as the etiological agent for TSE, exhibits high resistance to degradation in environmental processes. Soil contamination by prion proteins is a real environmental issue since contaminated soils can become potential reservoir and diffuser for TSE infectivity. In this work, the interaction of prion protein with organomineral complexes was studied by using … Show more

“…However, it is plausible that encapsulated MoPrP retains its native folding, as observed in the fibrillization experiments where HS were not able to promote MoPrP conversion in β-sheet enriched structures. Moreover, previous experiments using Fourier infrared spectroscopy and cross-polarization magic angle spinning (CP MAS) 13 C-solid state NMR spectroscopy have reported no detectable conformational changes occurring on recPrP adsorbed in humic-like substances, in spite of large background noise given by carbon groups naturally present in HS [34] , [35] , [46] . HS also affect the resistance of MoPrP to biotic degradation, as reported in our controlled PK digestion experiments.…”
