Neurodegenerative disease-associated inclusion bodies are cleared by selective autophagy in budding yeast

Protein misfolding, aggregation, and accumulation cause neurodegenerative disorders. One such disorder, Huntington’s disease, is caused by an increased number of glutamine-encoding trinucleotide repeats CAG in the first exon of the huntingtin (HTT) gene. Mutant proteins of Htt exon 1 with polyglutam...
