Structural Basis of Huntingtin Fibril Polymorphism Revealed by Cryogenic Electron Microscopy of Exon 1 HTT Fibrils

Hilal Lashuel, Sergey Nazarov, Anass Chiki, Driss Boudeffa

The lack of detailed insight into the structure of aggregates formed by the huntingtin protein (HTT) has hampered the efforts to develop therapeutics and diagnostics targeting pathology formation in the brain of patients with Huntington's disease. To addre ...

Investigating Crosstalk Among PTMs Provides Novel Insight Into the Structural Basis Underlying the Differential Effects of Nt17 PTMs on Mutant Httex1 Aggregation

Hilal Lashuel, Matteo Dal Peraro, Luciano Andres Abriata, Lucien Fabrice Krapp, Anass Chiki, Driss Boudeffa, Iman Rostami, Rajasekhar Kolla, Zhidian Zhang

Post-translational modifications (PTMs) within the first 17 amino acids (Nt17) of the Huntingtin protein (Htt) have been shown to inhibit the aggregation and attenuate the toxicity of mutant Htt proteins in vitro and in various models of Huntington’s disea ...
