Abstract excerpt
Polyglutamine diseases are inherited neurodegenerative diseases characterized by misfolding and aggregation of proteins possessing expanded polyglutamine repeats. As overexpression of some heat shock protein (Hsp) suppresses polyglutamine aggregates and cell death, it is assumed that combined overexpression of Hsps will suppress that more effectively. Here, we examined the impact of active forms of heat shock...
