Abstract excerpt
A significant correlation has been observed between the length of the polyglutamine tract in huntingtin, its aggregation and the progression of Huntington's disease (HD). The chaperonin TRiC is a potent antagonist of aggregation of mutant huntingtin. Using the well-validated Saccharomyces cerevisiae model of HD, we have investigated the role of age-related post-translational modifications of this heterooligomeric...
