Nuclear and cytoplasmic huntingtin inclusions exhibit distinct biochemical composition, interactome and ultrastructural properties

The mechanisms underlying Huntingtin protein (Htt) aggregation are not fully understood. Here the authors perform a detailed investigation of the ultrastructural and biochemical properties of huntingtin cytoplasmic and nuclear inclusions, and reveal that they form via distinct mechanisms and exert t...
