Abstract excerpt
Saccharomyces cerevisiae has been used as a model system to examine the aggregation of the huntingtin protein (Htt), a well-established marker in the pathology of the triplet expansion disorder Huntington's disease (HD). Several genetic backgrounds, such as Deltahsp104, have proven to be refractory to inclusion formation through a process yet to be fully elucidated. These results have prompted a wide-ranging...
