The conversion of the host-encoded prion protein (PrPc) into the insoluble, protease-resistant isoform (PrPsc) is the main pathogenic mechanism of transmissible spongiform encephalopathies. They are fatal neurodegenerative disorders, which in human occur as sporadic, inherited or familial forms. These last forms are linked to insert or point mutations of PrPc which may facilitate the spontaneous conversion into PrPsc. We have established stably transfected human neuroblastoma cells (SH-SY5Y) expressing mutant V210I, or wild-type PrPc. Both proteins were expressed and attached to the cell surface. The mutation in position 210 did not alter the biochemical properties of the protein in comparison with the wild-type protein nor induced any conformational changes similar to those observed in PrPsc.
