| Abstract |
Prions are proteins that under the same conditions can exist in two or more conformations, and at least one of the conformations has infectious properties. The prionization of a protein is typically accompanied by its functional inactivation due to sequestration of monomers by the prion aggregates. The most of prions has been identified in the yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae. One of them is [SWI(+)], a prion isoform of the Swi1 protein, which is a component of the evolutionarily conserved chromatin remodeling complex SWI/SNF. Earlier, it was shown that the prionization of [SWI(+)] induces a nonsense suppression, which leads to weak growth of the [SWI(+)] strains containing mutant variants of the SUP35 gene and the nonsense allele ade1-14UGA on selective medium without adenine. This effect occurs because of [SWI(+)] induction that causes a decrease in the amount of the SUP45 mRNA. Strains carrying the SWI1 deletion exhibit significantly higher suppression of the ade1-14UGA nonsense mutation than the [SWI(+)] strains. In the present study, we identified genes whose expression is altered in the background of the SWI1 deletion using RNA sequencing. We found that the ade1-14UGA suppression in the swi1Δ strains is caused by an increase in the expression of this mutant allele of the ADE1 gene. At the same time, the SUP45 expression level in the swi1Δ strains does not significantly differ from the expression level of this gene in the [swi(-)] strains. Thus, we have shown that the phenotypic effects of Swi1 prionization and deletion are mediated by different molecular mechanisms. Based on these data, we have concluded that the prionization of proteins is not only unequal to their inactivation, but also can lead to the acquisition of novel phenotypic effects and functions. |

Attention Score in Context
This research output has an Altmetric Attention Score of 1. This is our high-level measure of the quality and quantity of online attention that it has received. This Attention Score, as well as the ranking and number of research outputs shown below, was calculated when the research output was last mentioned on 19 October 2017.
All research outputs
#20,663,600
of 25,382,440 outputs
Outputs from Biochemistry
#20,694
of 22,290 outputs
Outputs of similar age
#261,047
of 336,536 outputs
Outputs of similar age from Biochemistry
#139
of 170 outputs
Altmetric has tracked 25,382,440 research outputs across all sources so far. This one is in the 10th percentile – i.e., 10% of other outputs scored the same or lower than it.
So far Altmetric has tracked 22,290 research outputs from this source. They receive a mean Attention Score of 4.4. This one is in the 3rd percentile – i.e., 3% of its peers scored the same or lower than it.
Older research outputs will score higher simply because they've had more time to accumulate mentions. To account for age we can compare this Altmetric Attention Score to the 336,536 tracked outputs that were published within six weeks on either side of this one in any source. This one is in the 12th percentile – i.e., 12% of its contemporaries scored the same or lower than it.
We're also able to compare this research output to 170 others from the same source and published within six weeks on either side of this one. This one is in the 7th percentile – i.e., 7% of its contemporaries scored the same or lower than it.
