Abstract excerpt
The accumulation of mutant protein in intracellular aggregates is a common feature of neurodegenerative disease. In Huntington disease, mutant huntingtin leads to inclusion body (IB) formation and neuronal toxicity. Impairment of the ubiquitin-proteasome system (UPS) has been implicated in IB for...
