In-cell Aggregation of a Polyglutamine-containing Chimera Is a Multistep Process Initiated by the Flanking Sequence
18 Oct 2007
Abstract excerpt
Toxicity in amyloid diseases is intimately linked to the nature of aggregates, with early oligomeric species believed to be more cytotoxic than later fibrillar aggregates. Yet mechanistic understanding of how aggregating species evolve with time is currently lacking. We have explored the aggregation process of a chimera composed of a globular protein (cellular retinoic acid-binding protein, CRABP) and huntingtin...
