Abstract excerpt
The DeltaGAG deletion mutation in DYT1, causing a loss of a glutamic acid near the carboxyl terminus of torsinA protein (torsinADeltaE), is dominantly inherited and tends to result in a severe generalized form of dystonia with childhood onset. We have used a yeast two-hybrid interaction assay to examine torsinA and its mutant torsinADeltaE interactions. Our data showed that torsinA monomers are capable of...
