Closed-Loop Control of Epidural Electrical Stimulation in Patients with Spinal Cord Injury and Parkinson's Disease

Over the past two decades, epidural electrical stimulation (EES) has transitioned from a treatment for chronic pain to a promising paradigm for ameliorating deficits associated with neurological disorders like spinal cord injury (SCI) and Parkinson's Disea ...

A Biallelic Truncating Variant in the TPR Domain of GEMIN5 Associated with Intellectual Disability and Cerebral Atrophy

Nicolas Jean Philippe Guex

GEMIN5 is a multifunctional RNA-binding protein required for the assembly of survival motor neurons. Several bi-allelic truncating and missense variants in this gene are reported to cause a neurodevelopmental disorder characterized by cerebellar atrophy, i ...

Pharmacological characterization of mutant huntingtin aggregate-directed PET imaging tracer candidates

Hilal Lashuel, Anass Chiki

Huntington's disease (HD) is caused by a CAG trinucleotide repeat expansion in the first exon of the huntingtin (HTT) gene coding for the huntingtin (HTT) protein. The misfolding and consequential aggregation of CAG-expanded mutant HTT (mHTT) underpin HD p ...

A New Chemoenzymatic Semisynthetic Approach Provides Insight into the Role of Phosphorylation beyond Exon1 of Huntingtin and Reveals N-Terminal Fragment Length-Dependent Distinct Mechanisms of Aggregation

Hilal Lashuel, Jonathan Jean-Pierre Ricci, Andreas Reif, Iman Rostami, Rajasekhar Kolla, Gopinath Pushparathinam

Huntington’s disease is a neurodegenerative dis- order caused by the expansion of a polyglutamine repeat (>36Q) in the N-terminal domain of the huntingtin protein (Htt), which renders the protein or fragments thereof more prone to aggregate and form inclus ...

Nicotinamide Pathway-Dependent Sirt1 Activation Restores Calcium Homeostasis to Achieve Neuroprotection in Spinocerebellar Ataxia Type 7

Johan Auwerx, Karim Laurent Gariani

Sirtuin 1 (Sirt1) is a NAD(+)-dependent deacetylase capable of countering age-related neurodegeneration, but the basis of Sirt1 neuroprotection remains elusive. Spinocerebellar ataxia type 7 (SCA7) is an inherited CAG-polyglutamine repeat disorder. Transcr ...

The Polyglutamine Expansion at the N-Terminal of Huntingtin Protein Modulates the Dynamic Configuration and Phosphorylation of the C-Terminal HEAT Domain

Matteo Dal Peraro, Maria Josefina Marcaida Lopez, Giorgio Elikem Tamo, Ruedi Aebersold

The polyQ expansion in huntingtin protein (HTT) is the prime cause of Huntington's disease (HD). The recent cryoelectron microscopy (cryo-EM) structure of HTT-HAP40 complex provided the structural information on its HEAT-repeat domains. Here, we present an ...

Three-dimensional chromatin interactions remain stable upon CAG/CTG repeat expansion

Marion Leleu, Ludovica Vanzan, Flavia Marzetta, Ioannis Xenarios

Expanded CAG/CTG repeats underlie 13 neurological disorders, including myotonic dystrophy type 1 (DM1) and Huntington's disease (HD). Upon expansion, disease loci acquire heterochromatic characteristics, which may provoke changes to chromatin conformation ...

Decreasing the ambulatory knee adduction moment without increasing the knee flexion moment individually through modifications in footprint parameters: A feasibility study for a dual kinetic change in healthy subjects

Julien Favre, Killian Cosendey

Gait retraining is gaining in interest to reduce loading associated to knee osteoarthritis (OA) progression. So far, interventions focused on reducing the peak knee adduction moment (pKAM) and it remains unclear if this can be done individually without inc ...

Phosphorylation of huntingtin at residue T3 is decreased in Huntington’s disease and modulates mutant huntingtin protein conformation

Hilal Lashuel, Lara Petricca, Anass Chiki, Sean Michael Deguire

Posttranslational modifications can have profound effects on the biological and biophysical properties of proteins associated with misfolding and aggregation. However, their detection and quantification in clinical samples and an understanding of the mecha ...

Polyglutamine expansion affects huntingtin conformation in multiple Huntington’s disease models

Hilal Lashuel, Lara Petricca, Sean Michael Deguire

Conformational changes in disease-associated or mutant proteins represent a key pathological aspect of Huntington's disease (HD) and other protein misfolding diseases. Using immunoassays and biophysical approaches, we and others have recently reported that ...
