Abstract excerpt
Huntington's disease (HD) is one of a group of neurodegenerative disorders caused by the pathological expansion of a glutamine tract. A hallmark of these so-called polyglutamine diseases is the presence of ubiquitylated inclusion bodies, which sequester various components of the 19S and 20S proteasomes. In addition, the ubiquitin-proteasome system (UPS) has been shown to be severely impaired in vitro in cells...
