Evolutionarily conserved chaperone-mediated proteasomal degradation of a disease-linked aspartoacylase variant
2020-09-04
Abstract excerpt
Canavan disease is a severe progressive neurodegenerative disorder that is characterized by swelling and spongy degeneration of brain white matter. The disease is genetically linked to polymorphisms in the aspartoacylase ( ASPA ) gene, including the substitution C152W. ASPA C152W is associated with greatly reduced protein levels in cells, yet biophysical experiments suggest a wild-type like thermal stability. Her...
