Prion-based diseases are fatal neurodegenerative disorders for which no efficient treatment is currently available. We focussed our work on the identification of the intracellular biochemical targets of two drugs 6AP and GA, isolated in the laboratory as antiprion drugs using a yeast-based assay to uncover biochemical pathways controlling prion formation. Using both genetic and biochemical approaches, we show an RNA-dependent interaction of 6AP and GA with ribosomes. 6AP and GA specifically inhibit the protein folding activity of the large ribosomal RNA of the large ribosome subunit. We thus propose that the ribosomal RNA protein folding activity is required for prion maintenance. These drugs are also efficient against other protein misfold...
