Scope and Contents

Contents

The huntingtin protein (HTT) contains a polyQ tract preceded by an N-terminal flanking sequence (HTT
NT
) that contributes to HTT aggregation. Now the role of HTT
NT
in aggregation is explored
in vitro
, revealing a complex, multistep pathway initiated when polyQ disrupts HTT
NT
structure, enhancing the latter's assembly int...
