The Ure2 protein is composed of 354 amino acids, which compose two distinct domains. The amino-terminal sequence (~90 residues) forms the prion domain, which contains the necessary amino acids for the formation and propagation of the prion form of Ure2p. The c-terminal region of Ure2p is the Nitrogen Catabolite Repression (NCR) domain, which is required for repression of genes involved in nitrogen catabolism. Dispensing with the prion domain disables the capacity of Ure2p to form a prion.
