Ribotoxic collisions on CAG expansions disrupt proteostasis and stress responses in Huntington’s Disease

2022-05-05

Abstract excerpt

<h4>Summary</h4> Huntington’s disease (HD) is a devastating neurodegenerative disorder caused by CAG trinucleotide repeat expansions encoding a polyglutamine (polyQ) tract in the Huntingtin ( HTT ) gene 1 . Although mutant HTT (mHTT) protein tends to aggregate, the exact causes of neurotoxicity in HD remain unclear 2 . Here we show that altered elongation kinetics on CAG expansions cause ribosome collisions th...
