Structures of TorsinA and its disease-mutant complexed with an activator reveal the molecular basis for primary dystonia

The most common cause of early onset primary dystonia, a neuromuscular disease, is a glutamate deletion (DE) at position 302/303 of TorsinA, a AAA+ ATPase that resides in the endoplasmic reticulum. While the function of TorsinA remains elusive, the DE mutation is known to diminish binding of two Tor...
