Abstract excerpt
Huntington disease (HD) is caused by the expansion of a glutamine (Q) repeat near the N terminus of huntingtin (htt), resulting in altered conformation of the mutant protein to produce, most prominently in brain neurons, nuclear and cytoplasmic inclusion pathology. The inclusions and associated diffuse accumulation of mutant htt in nuclei are composed of N-terminal fragments of mutant protein. Here, we used a...
