Abstract excerpt
Early-onset torsion dystonia is an autosomal dominant movement disorder that has been linked to the deletion of one of a pair of glutamic acid residues in the protein torsinA (E(302/303); DeltaE-torsinA). In transfected cells, DeltaE-torsinA exhibits similar biochemical properties to wild type (WT)-torsinA, but displays a distinct subcellular localization. Primary structural analysis of torsinA suggests that this...
