Abstract excerpt
A class of inherited neurodegenerative diseases including Huntington's disease is caused by polyglutamine (polyQ) expansion in the responsible proteins. Pathology is typically associated with polyQ expansions of greater than 40 residues, and the longer the length of the expansion, the earlier the onset of disease. It has been reported that p97/VCP/Cdc48p, a member of AAA family of proteins, can bind to longer...
