p21-activated kinase 1 promotes soluble mutant huntingtin self-interaction and enhances toxicity.

Human molecular genetics - 15 Mar 2008

Luo Shouqing, Mizuta Haruo, Rubinsztein David C

Abstract excerpt

Huntington's disease (HD) is caused by a polyglutamine (polyQ) expansion in the huntingtin (htt) protein. While aggregation is a pathological hallmark of HD and related polyQ expansion diseases, the role of aggregates has been disputed. Here we report that p21-activated kinase 1 (Pak1) binds to h...
