Abstract excerpt
Selective neuronal accumulation of misfolded proteins is a key step toward neurodegeneration in a wide range of neurodegenerative diseases, including Huntington's (HD) diseases. Our recent studies suggest that Hsp70-binding protein 1 (HspBP1), an Hsp70/CHIP inhibitor that reduces protein folding, is highly expressed in neuronal cells and accounts for the accumulation of the HD protein huntingtin (HTT) in neuronal...
