Abstract excerpt
A crucial question in polyQ-induced neurodegeneration is the influence of wild type protein on the formation of aggregates and toxicity. Recently it was shown that non-expanded ataxin-3 protein mitigated neurodegeneration in a Drosophila and mouse model of SCA3. We now explored the effects of overexpressing non-expanded ataxin-3 with 15Q in a SCA3 transgenic mouse model with 70 polyglutamine repeats. These...
