Integrative determination of the atomic structure of mutant huntingtin exon 1 fibrils implicated in Huntington’s disease
2023-07-21
Abstract excerpt
Neurodegeneration in Huntington’s disease (HD) is accompanied by the aggregation of fragments of the mutant huntingtin protein, a biomarker of disease progression. A particular pathogenic role has been attributed to the aggregation-prone huntingtin exon 1 (HTTex1), generated by aberrant splicing or proteolysis, and containing the expanded polyglutamine (polyQ) segment. Unlike amyloid fibrils from Parkinson’s and A...
