Abstract excerpt
Conflicting reports exist in the literature regarding the role of wild-type huntingtin in determining the toxicity of the aggregated, mutant huntingtin in Huntington's disease (HD). Some studies report the amelioration of toxicity of the mutant protein in the presence of the wild-type protein, while others indicate sequestration of the wild-type protein by mutant huntingtin. Over the years, yeast has been...
