Abstract excerpt
Nine neurodegenerative diseases, including spinocerebellar ataxia type 7 (SCA7), are caused by the expansion of polyglutamine stretches in the respective disease-causing proteins. A hallmark of these diseases is the aggregation of expanded polyglutamine-containing proteins in nuclear inclusions that also accumulate molecular chaperones and components of the ubiquitin-proteasome system. Manipulation of HSP70 and...
