Ubiquitin conjugating enzymes participate in polyglutamine protein aggregation
Background Protein aggregation is a hallmark of several neurodegenerative diseases including Huntington's disease and Parkinson's disease. Proteins containing long, homopolymeric stretches of glutamine are especially prone to form aggregates. It has long

Polyglutamine disease and neuronal cell death
Research in the past decade has uncovered a new class of inherited neurodegenerative diseases, the polyglutamine (polyQ) expansion diseases (1). In each, the underlying mutation is an expansion of a CAG trinucleotide repeat that encodes polyQ in the respective disease proteins (Table 1).

The Role of the Immune System in Triplet Repeat Expansion Diseases
Trinucleotide repeat expansion disorders (TREDs) are a group of dominantly inherited neurological diseases caused by the expansion of unstable repeats in specific regions of the associated genes.
