摘要: The mechanism by which an elongated polyglutamine sequence causes neurodegeneration in Huntington's disease (HD) is unknown. In this study, we show that the proteolytic cleavage of a GST-huntingtin fusion protein leads to formation insoluble high molecular weight aggregates only when expansion pathogenic range. Electron micrographs these revealed fibrillar or ribbon-like morphology, reminiscent scrapie prions and beta-amyloid fibrils Alzheimer's disease. Subcellular fractionation ultrastructural techniques showed vivo presence structures brains mice transgenic for HD mutation. Our vitro model will aid eventual understanding pathology development preventative strategies.
