title: Prion: disease or relief?
abstract: The self-perpetuating amyloid isoform, or prion, of the yeast translation termination factor eRF3 modulates programmed translational frameshifting that controls a regulatory circuit determining the polyamine levels in a yeast cell. But it is still unclear whether this effect is adaptive or pathological.
