Polyglutamine Tract Expansion Increases S-Nitrosylation of Huntingtin and Ataxin-1.

Polyglutamine Tract Expansion Increases S-Nitrosylation of Huntingtin and Ataxin-1.

Expansion of the polyglutamine (polyQ) tract in the huntingtin (Htt) protein causes Huntington's disease (HD), a fatal inherited movement disorder linked to neurodegeneration in the striatum and cortex. S-nitrosylation and S-acylation of cysteine residues regulate many functions of cytosolic pr...
