ROCK-phosphorylated vimentin modifies mutant huntingtin aggregation via sequestration of IRBIT
28 Aug 2012
Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Huntington's Disease (HD) is a fatal hereditary neurodegenerative disease caused by the accumulation of mutant huntingtin protein (Htt) containing an expanded polyglutamine (polyQ) tract. Activation of the channel responsible for the inositol-induced Ca²⁺ release from ensoplasmic reticulum (ER), was found to contribute substantially to neurodegeneration in HD. Importantly, chemical and genetic...
