Cytoplasmic inheritance. Prion-like factors in yeast

B Cox. Curr Biol. 1994.

Abstract

Some non-Mendelian genetic factors in yeast have properties reminiscent of prions; inheritance of these prion-like factors may involve the autocatalytic conversion of a protein from one metastable state to another.
