Hsp70 Chaperones and Type I PRMTs Are Sequestered at Intranuclear Inclusions Caused by Polyalanine Expansions in PABPN1
28 Jul 2009
Abstract excerpt
Genomic instability at loci with tandem arrays of simple repeats is the cause for many neurological, neurodegenerative and neuromuscular diseases. When located in coding regions, disease-associated expansions of trinucleotide repeats are translated into homopolymeric amino acid stretches of glutamine or alanine. Polyalanine expansions in the poly(A)-binding protein nuclear 1 (PABPN1) gene causes oculopharyngeal...
