Abstract excerpt
Torsion dystonia-1 (DYT1) dystonia, the most common inherited form of dystonia, is caused by a three base pair deletion that eliminates a single amino acid from the disease protein, torsinA. TorsinA is an "AAA" protein thought to reside in the endoplasmic reticulum (ER), yet both its cellular function and the basis for neuronal dysfunction in DYT1 remain unknown. A clue to disease pathogenesis is the fact that...
