Metric Options: Counts1 Year3 YearSelecting the 1-year or 3-year option will change the metrics count to percentiles, illustrating how an article or review compares to other articles or reviews within the selected time period in the same journal. Selecting the 1-year option compares the metrics against other articles/reviews that were also published in the same calendar year. Selecting the 3-year option compares the metrics against other articles/reviews that were also published in the same calendar year plus the two years prior.
Example: if you select the 1-year option for an article published in 2019 and a metric category shows 90%, that means that the article or review is performing better than 90% of the other articles/reviews published in that journal in 2019. If you select the 3-year option for the same article published in 2019 and the metric category shows 90%, that means that the article or review is performing better than 90% of the other articles/reviews published in that journal in 2019, 2018 and 2017.

Article Description
Yeast prions are protein-based genetic elements capable of self-perpetuation. One such prion, [RNQ], requires the J-protein Sis1, an Ssa Hsp70 co-chaperone, as well as the AAA+ ATPase, Hsp104, for its propagation. We report that, upon depletion of Sis1, as well as upon inactivation of Hsp104, Rnq1 aggregates increased in size. Subsequently, cells having large aggregates, as well as an apparently soluble pool of Rnq1, became predominant in the cell population. Newly synthesized Rnq1 localized to both aggregates and bulk cytosol, suggesting that nascent Rnq1 partitioned into pools of prion and nonprion conformations, and implying that these large aggregates were still active as seeds. Ultimately, soluble Rnq1 predominated, and the prion was lost from the population. Our data suggest a model in which J-protein:Hsp70 machinery functions in prion propagation, in conjunction with Hsp104. Together, these chaperones facilitate fragmentation of prion polymers, generating a sufficient number of seeds to allow efficient conversion of newly synthesized Rnq1 into the prion conformation. © 2007 European Molecular Biology Organization.
