Mutant Exon1 Huntingtin Aggregation is Regulated by T3 Phosphorylation-Induced Structural Changes and Crosstalk between T3 Phosphorylation and Acetylation at K6

Giovanni Dietler, Hilal Lashuel, Anass Chiki, Francesco Simone Ruggeri, Urszula Beata Cendrowska, Annalisa Ansaloni, Ritwik Burai, Sean Michael Deguire, Sophie Vieweg

Herein, we used protein semisynthesis to investigate, for the first time, the effect of lysine acetylation and phosphorylation, as well as the crosstalk between these modifications on the structure and aggregation of mutant huntingtin exon1 (Httex1). Our r ...

An Intein-based Strategy for the Production of Tag-free Huntingtin Exon 1 Proteins Enables New Insights into the Polyglutamine Dependence of Httex1 Aggregation and Fibril Formation

Hilal Lashuel, Annalisa Ansaloni, Sophie Vieweg, John Blaine Warner IV

The first exon of the Huntingtin protein (Httex1) is one of the most actively studied Htt fragments because its overexpression in R6/2 transgenic mice has been shown to recapitulate several key features of Huntington disease. However, the majority of bioph ...

One-Pot Semisynthesis of Exon 1 of the Huntingtin Protein: New Tools for Elucidating the Role of Posttranslational Modifications in the Pathogenesis of Huntington's Disease

Giovanni Dietler, Hilal Lashuel, Francesco Simone Ruggeri, Annalisa Ansaloni, Jae Sun Jeong

The natural enzymes involved in regulating many of the posttranslational modifications (PTMs) within the first 17 residues (Nt17) of Huntingtin exon1 (Httex1) remain unknown. A semisynthetic strategy that allows the site-specific introduction of PTMs withi ...

Discovery and Structure Activity Relationship of Small Molecule Inhibitors of Toxic β-Amyloid-42 Fibril Formation

Hilal Lashuel, Andrea Pfeifer, Annalisa Ansaloni, Mohammad Asad Jan Qureshi, Andreas Muhs, Magdalena Zweckstetter, Paolo Paganetti

Increasing evidence implicates Aβ peptides self-assembly and fibril formation as crucial events in the pathogenesis of Alzheimer disease. Thus, inhibiting Aβ aggregation, among others, has emerged as a potential therapeutic intervention for this disorder. ...
