  2. 1. STUDIES OF FACTORS AFFECTING INTRACELLULAR TOXICITY OF THE SCA7 DISEASE PROTEIN ATAXIN - 7 : FOCUS ON ATAXIN-7 DEGRADATION AND OXIDATIVE STRESS

    Author : Xin Yu; Anna-Lena Ström; Nico Dantuma; Stockholms universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Polyglutamine; SCA7; UPS; Autophagy; neurokemi med molekylär neurobiologi; Neurochemistry with Molecular Neurobiology;

    Abstract : Spinocerebellar ataxia type 7 (SCA7) is one of nine neurodegenerative disorders caused by expansion of CAG/polyglutamine repeats. Proteins carrying expanded polyglutamine (polyQ) domains are suggested to be resistant to degradation and aggregate. Furthermore, a negative correlation between aggregation and toxicity has been shown. READ MORE
