Global ribosome profiling reveals that mutant huntingtin stalls ribosomes and represses protein synthesis independent of fragile X mental retardation protein

2019-05-07

Abstract excerpt

The regulators that stall ribosome translocation are poorly understood. We find that polyglutamine-expanded mutant Huntingtin (mHtt), the Huntington’s disease (HD) causing protein, promotes ribosome stalling and physiologically suppresses protein synthesis. A comprehensive, genome-wide analysis of ribosome footprint profiling (Ribo-Seq) revealed widespread ribosome stalling on mRNA transcripts and a shift in the d...
