Hunting Down Huntingtin

New England Journal of Medicine, 2012
Huntington's disease was the first disease whose causative gene (HTT) was mapped to a chromosome, and yet almost 30 years later, rational treatments do not exist. A recent study using a mouse model supports a strategy to knock down HTT RNA.

Calretinin interacts with huntingtin and reduces mutant huntingtin‐caused cytotoxicity

Journal of Neurochemistry, 2012
AbstractHuntington's disease (HD) is a devastating neurodegenerative disorder caused by an expansion of CAG trinucleotide repeats encoding for polyglutamine (polyQ) in the huntingtin (Htt) gene. Despite considerable effort, the mechanisms underlying the toxicity of the mutated Htt protein remains largely uncertain. To identify novel therapeutic targets,

The Huntingtin Transport Complex

Biochemistry
A dynamic network of scaffolding molecules, adaptor proteins, and motor proteins work together to orchestrate the movement of proteins, mRNA, and vesicular cargoes. Defects in intracellular transport can often lead to neurodegeneration. Huntingtin (HTT) is a ubiquitously expressed scaffolding protein with a multitude of cellular roles, including ...

Huntingtin Phosphorylation

Science's STKE, 2002
Huntington's disease (HD) is characterized by progressive brain neurodegeneration, often leading to dementia. A mutation in the huntingtin protein and nuclear accumulation of the mutant are associated with the pathology of HD, but it is not yet clear how the mutant protein induces the death of neurons.

Characterization of neuron-specific huntingtin aggregates in human huntingtin knock-in mice

Neuroscience Research, 2007
Huntington's disease (HD) is caused by a mutation causing expanded polyglutamine tracts in the N-terminal fragment of huntingtin. A pathological hallmark of HD is the formation of aggregates in the striatal neurons. Here we report that ageing human huntingtin knock-in mice expressing mutant human huntingtin contained neuronal huntingtin aggregates, as ...
