The prion-like protein Doppel fails to interact with itself, the prion protein and the 37 kDa/67 kDa laminin receptor in the yeast two-hybrid system
Abstract
The prion-like protein termed Doppel (Dpl) shows approx. 25% sequence identity with all known prion proteins (PrP). We recently showed that the cellular PrP is dimeric under native conditions, a finding which was confirmed by the investigation of its crystal structure. Human PrP further interacts with its cellular receptor, the 37 kDa/67 kDa laminin receptor (LRP/LR). Here we report that human Doppel fails to interact with (i). itself, (ii). the human 37 kDa/67 kDa LRP/LR, and (iii). the human cellular prion protein (huPrP) in the yeast two-hybrid system. Our findings suggest that Dpl and PrP are not related or are only marginally related with respect to their ligand binding behaviour.
