Abstract:Huntington’s disease (HD) is a neurodegerative disorder caused by an inherited unstable HTT CAG repeat that expands further, thereby eliciting a disease process that may be initiated by polyglutamine-expanded huntingtin or a short polyglutamine-product. Phosphorylation of selected candidate residues is reported to mediate polyglutamine-fragment degradation and toxicity. Here to support the discovery of phospho-sites involved in the life-cycle of (full-length) huntingtin, we employed mass spectrometry-based pho… Show more
