Abstract excerpt
In Huntington's disease (HD), as in the rest of CAG triplet-repeat disorders, the expanded polyglutamine (polyQ)-containing proteins form intraneuronal fibrillar aggregates that are gathered into inclusion bodies (IBs). Since IBs contain ubiquitin and proteasome subunits, it was proposed that inhibition of proteasome activity might underlie pathogenesis of polyQ disorders. Recent in vitro enzymatic studies...
