Domain
The prion domain (PrD) is a Gln/Asn (Q/N)-rich domain, which is unstructured in its native, soluble form, and which forms a parallel in-register beta-sheet in its amyloid form.
Function
Transferable epigenetic modifier which forms a prion responsible for the non-Mendelian trait [PIN+]. The native function of the soluble protein is unknown.
