Suppression of aggregate formation and apoptosis by transglutaminase inhibitors in cells expressing truncated DRPLA protein with an expanded polyglutamine stretch.

TL;DR: It is found that truncated DRPLA proteins containing an expanded polyglutamine stretch form filamentous peri- and intranuclear aggregates and undergo apoptosis, suggesting involvement of a transglutaminase reaction and providing a potential basis for the development of therapeutic measures for CAG-repeat expansion diseases.
Journal ArticleDOI

CAG repeat disorder models and human neuropathology: similarities and differences.

TL;DR: Although there are no models that fully represent the neuropathologic changes present in humans, the data obtained have provided evidence that clinical onset is not clearly associated with neuronal cell death, but depends on intranuclear accumulation of mutant proteins in neurons.
