[edit] Expanding The Article
I think should include the criteria for fungal prions:
- Two distinct conformational states (duh)
- Non-mendelian inheritance
- Curable (either overexpression or deletion of Hsp104, and/or exposure to Guanidium Hydrochloride)
If no one disagrees, I'd like to add a couple sections: one dedicated to the [PSI+] prion (including the phenomenon of strains); and another about prion candidates (possibly including the criteria for a fungal prion).
Also, I was thinking of turning Fungal Prions article into a redirect to this, if nobody objects.
