Studies of genetic factors modulating polyglutamine toxicity in the yeast model
Polyglutamine-expanded fragments, derived from the human huntingtin protein, are aggregation-prone and toxic in yeast cells, bearing endogenous QN-rich proteins in the aggregated (prion) form. Attachment of the proline-rich region targets polyglutamine aggregates to the large perinuclear deposit (ag...
