Study of Amyloids Using Yeast.

Reed B Wickner1, Dmitry Kryndushkin2,3, Frank Shewmaker3, Ryan McGlinchey2, Herman K Edskes2.   

Abstract

We detail some of the genetic, biochemical, and physical methods useful in studying amyloids in yeast, particularly the yeast prions. These methods include cytoduction (cytoplasmic mixing), infection of cells with prion amyloids, use of green fluorescent protein fusions with amyloid-forming proteins for cytology, protein purification and amyloid formation, and electron microscopy of filaments.
