Abstract excerpt
Accumulation of abnormal proteins and endoplasmic reticulum stress accompany neurodegenerative diseases including Huntington's disease. We show that the expression of mutant huntingtin proteins with extended polyglutamine repeats differentially affected endoplasmic reticulum signaling cascades linked to the inositol-requiring enzyme-1 (IRE1) pathway. Thus, the p38 and c-Jun N-terminal kinase pathways were...
