Abstract excerpt
Human PQBP-1 is known to interact with triplet repeat disease gene products such as ataxin and huntingtin through their poly-glutamine (poly-Q) tracts. The poly-Q tracts show extensive variation in both the number and the configuration of repeats among species. A surface plasmon resonance assay showed clear interaction between human PQBP-1 and Q(11), representative of the poly-Q tract of the ataxin-1 of Old World...
