“…Most of the interactions have been determined by coimmunoprecipitation, two-yeast assays or other biochemical techniques. Among the myriad of interactions described, Hsp60 (Edenhofer et al, 1996), STI1 (Zanata et al, 2002), Bcl-2 (Kurschner and Morgan, 1995), and Grb2 (Spielhaupter and Schatzl, 2001) have been proposed as PrP c ligands. However, only a small proportion of these related pathways are functional in a physiological context (see (Lee et al, 2003) or (Westergard et al, 2007) and (Linden et al, 2008) for reviews).…”
