Abstract excerpt
Charcot-Marie-Tooth (CMT) disease is major hereditary neuropathy. CMT has been linked to mutations in a range of proteins, including the small heat shock protein HspB1. Here we review the properties of several HspB1 mutants associated with CMT. In vitro, mutations in the N-terminal domain lead to a formation of larger HspB1 oligomers when compared with the wild-type (WT) protein. These mutants are resistant to...
