Abstract excerpt
Early onset dystonia is a movement disorder caused by loss of a glutamic acid residue (Glu(302/303)) in the carboxyl-terminal portion of the AAA+ protein, torsinA. We identified the light chain subunit (KLC1) of kinesin-I as an interacting partner for torsinA, with binding occurring between the tetratricopeptide repeat domain of KLC1 and the carboxyl-terminal region of torsinA. Coimmunoprecipitation analysis...
