Linear and extended: a common polyglutamine conformation recognized by the three antibodies MW1, 1C2 and 3B5H10
17 Jun 2013
Abstract excerpt
A long-standing pathomechanistic model proposes that the polyglutamine (polyQ)-length-dependent toxicity threshold observed in all polyQ diseases is triggered by a conformational change within the monomer that occurs only above a certain polyQ length. If true, this yet undefined and elusive mutant-specific toxic conformation would constitute a direct therapeutic target. Three anti-polyQ antibodies-MW1, 1C2 and...
