Abstract excerpt
DYT1 dystonia is caused by a glutamic acid deletion (ΔE) in the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) protein torsinA. Previous studies suggest that torsinA modulates the aggregation of cytosolic misfolded proteins and ER stress responses, although the mechanisms underlying those effects remain unclear. In order to investigate the bases of these observations, we analyzed the interaction between torsinA expression, protein...
