Here we report a high-resolution cryo-EM structure of amyloid fibrils formed by human prion protein with the Y145Stop mutation that is associated with a familial prion disease. This structural insight allows us not only to explain previous biochemical findings, but also provides direct support for the conformational adaptability model of prion transmissibility barriers. Cryo-EM structure of disease-related prion fibrils provides insights into seeding barriers.,Li Q, Jaroniec CP, Surewicz WK Nat Struct Mol Biol. 2022 Oct;29(10):962-965. doi: 10.1038/s41594-022-00833-4. , Epub 2022 Sep 12.
