Ribosome Profiling Reveals a Dichotomy Between Ribosome Occupancy of Nuclear-Encoded and Mitochondrial-Encoded OXPHOS mRNA Transcripts in a Striatal Cell Model of Huntington Disease
Abstract:Huntington disease (HD) is caused by an expanded polyglutamine mutation in huntingtin (mHTT), which promotes a prominent atrophy in the striatum and subsequent psychiatric, cognitive, and choreiform movements. Multiple lines of evidence point to an association between HD and aberrant striatal mitochondrial functions. However, present knowledge about whether (or how) mitochondrial mRNA translation is differentially regulated in HD remains unclear. We have recently applied ribosome profiling (Ribo-Seq), a techni… Show more
