Neuroprotective effects of ursodeoxycholic acid in Parkinson's disease and Alzheimer's disease

open access: yesNeuroprotection, Volume 4, Issue 2, Page 111-130, June 2026.
In Parkinson's disease (PD) and Alzheimer's disease (AD), various shared pathological mechanisms exist. UDCA has been shown to exert neuroprotective effects in preclinical and clinical studies. Such effects include the mitigation of neuroinflammation as well as rescue effects on mitochondrial dysfunction, oxidative stress, impaired autophagy, and ...

Cytotoxicity of Mutant Huntingtin Fragment in Yeast Can Be Modulated by the Expression Level of Wild Type Huntingtin Fragment

open access: yes, 2016
Conflicting reports exist in the literature regarding the role of wild-type huntingtin in determining the toxicity of the aggregated, mutant huntingtin in Huntington’s disease (HD).

Cholesterol Modulates Huntingtin Binding to and Aggregation on Lipid Membranes

open access: yes, 2015
Huntington disease is an autosomal dominant neurodegenerative disorder. The abnormally long CAG-repeats in the huntingtin gene that encode an expanded polyglutamine stretch which promotes self-assemble of huntingtin into different aggregation species ...

Blm10/PA200‐Activated 20S Proteasomes Promote α‐Synuclein Degradation and Bypass Proteasome Inhibition in Parkinson's Disease Models

open access: yesAging Cell, Volume 25, Issue 6, June 2026.
This study demonstrates that α‐synuclein expression stabilizes the proteasome activator Blm10, thereby linking α‐synuclein stress to changes in proteasome composition. Blm10/PA200‐capped 20S proteasomes efficiently degrade both monomeric and oligomeric α‐synuclein and remain resistant to α‐synuclein‐induced inhibition.

The many roles of huntingtin in intracellular trafficking

open access: yes, 2013
Huntingtin is present at multiple stages of the endocytic and recycling pathway. Huntingtin interacts with many proteins which are involved with clathrin coated pit formation (1) and clathrin mediated endocytosis (2), including the AP-2 complex, syndapin,

Characterization of the Huntingtin gene promoter and Huntingtin transcriptional regulation

open access: yes, 2015
Huntington’s disease (HD) is a late onset, neurological, autosomal dominant genetic disorder. Despite being associated to a defined genetic mutation within the huntingtin gene (HTT), little is known about its transcriptional regulation. HTT is expressed, at varying levels, throughout the body.

Redox environment modulates aggregation of ataxin‐3 in vitro — Implications for drug screening of cysteine‐rich proteins

open access: yesThe FEBS Journal, Volume 293, Issue 11, Page 3376-3398, June 2026.
Redox environment modulates in vitro aggregation of Ataxin‐3, the protein implicated in spinocerebellar ataxia type 3. Reducing conditions stabilize native monomers and prevent aggregation, whereas oxidative conditions promote the formation of non‐native conformers and disulfide‐linked oligomers within the Josephin domain (JD).

Expression of Normal and Mutant Huntingtin in the Developing Brain

open access: yes, 1996
Huntington’s disease (HD) is caused by a genetic mutation that results in a polyglutamine expansion in huntingtin. The time course of neuronal loss in the HD striatum and other affected brain regions before the onset of symptoms is unknown.
