Abstract excerpt
Spinocerebellar ataxia type 1 (SCA1) is a dominant neurodegenerative disease caused by the expression of mutant ataxin-1 containing an expanded polyglutamine tract. Ataxin-1 is a nuclear protein that localizes to punctate inclusions similar to neuronal nuclear inclusions seen in many polyglutamine expansion disease proteins. We demonstrate that ataxin-1 localization to inclusions and inclusion dynamics within the...
