Abstract excerpt
The N17 domain of the huntingtin protein is post-translationally modified and is the master regulator of huntingtin intracellular localization. In Huntington's disease (HD), mutant huntingtin is hypo-phosphorylated at serines 13 and 16 within N17, and increasing N17 phosphorylation has been shown to be protective in HD mouse models. Thus, N17 phosphorylation is defined as a sub-target of huntingtin for potential...
