It does not! And that is what is so puzzling to scientists:
The central dogma of molecular biology deals with the detailed residue-by-residue transfer of sequential information. It states that such information cannot be transferred back from protein to either protein or nucleic acid. (Wikipedia)
But in prions "transfer of information from one protein to another" is exactly what's happening. They are so "cool"! :))

It doesn't. Its an anomoly. A mistake in cellular manufacturing. Whats more, knew proof arised recently that Prions are a creation of viruses.
