Abstract excerpt
Huntington's disease (HD) is caused by abnormal CAG repeat expansion in the 5'-end of the Huntingtin (HTT) gene. In addition to the canonical C-terminal full-length huntingtin (htt) nuclear export signal, a cytoplasmic localization-related domain (CLRD) in the N-terminus of htt has recently been reported. Here, we analyzed this domain by introducing deletion and substitution mutations in a truncated N-terminal...
