Abstract excerpt
Polyglutamine (polyQ) stretch amplification in different proteins causes neurodegenerative disease. These proteins form intracellular aggregates thought to be cytotoxic but differ in pathology and tissue specificity. Here, we demonstrate that specific sequences outside the polyQ stretch of the human androgen receptor contribute to polyQ pathology. An exchange of two N-terminal serine phosphorylation residues to...
