Hypothetical model for the pathway of polyQ aggregation and its modulation by molecular chaperones. The first step in the aggregation process is thought to be the structural Using a Drosophila melanogaster model of polyglutamine disease10, we show that directed expression of the molecular chaperone HSP70 suppresses polyglutamine-induced
Caenorhabditis elegans as a model system for human diseases
Small molecule therapies are being developed to target specific pathways involved in polyQ diseases, such as protein aggregation (i.e., to act as binding competitors to block the assembly between polyQ protein
Molecular mechanisms and cellular pathways implicated in MJD pathogenesis. The polyQ expansion in mutant ataxin-3 proteins leads to a cascade of events, including the Huntington disease is a dominantly inherited disease of the central nervous system. The mutational expansion of polyglutamine beyond a critical length produces a toxic Aggregation intermediate: A putative metastable molecular species that may be ‚on‘ or ‚off‘ the pathway to fibril formation and that forms large aggregates and inclusions.
Insights from disease-gene mapping and molecular cloning have led to detailed cellular and molecular investigations of proteins and pathways implicated in Epigallocatechin-3-gallate and related phenol compounds redirect the amyloidogenic aggregation pathway of ataxin-3 towards non-toxic aggregates and prevent HTT is a 3144 amino acid protein with a polyglutamine stretch and a polyproline domain located in the N-terminus, nuclear import and export signals, numerous regions
Among the age-dependent protein aggregation disorders, nine neurodegenerative diseases are caused neurodegenerative diseases are caused by expansions of CAG repeats encoding polyglutamine (polyQ) tracts. We review the clinical,

Common Occurring Pathways During Polyglutamine Neurotoxicity: Protein Aggregation, Misfolding, Stability and Clearance Seven spinocerebellar ataxia subtypes folding of Polyglutamine (polyQ) aggregation plays a central role in several neurodegenerative diseases, including Huntington’s disease. To investigate the underlying
Mounting evidence suggests that protein aggregation is often part of the cellular response to an imbalanced protein homeostasis rather than an unspecific and uncontrolled dead-end pathway. Polyglutamine tract expansion has been shown to cause at least eight inherited polyQ expansion in neurodegenerative disorders, including spinocerebellar ataxia type 3 (SCA3/ MJD) which is C. elegans models that simulate polyQ-associated aggregation and toxicity have been successfully used for delineating the cellular and molecular mechanisms underlying
Although polyglutamine expansion diseases are the most common genetically inherited neurodegenerative disorders, the key pathogenic mechanisms that lead to neuronal Polyglutamine tracts promote protein aggregation in vitro and in vivo with a strict length-dependence that strongly implicates alternative protein folding and/or aggregation as a
Recent studies in spinal and bulbar muscular atrophy implicate similar pathogenic pathways to the more common polyglutamine diseases, highlighting autophagy stimulation as
