Polyglutamine disruption of the huntingtin exon1 N-terminus triggers a complex aggregation mechanism
Simple polyglutamine (polyQ) peptides aggregate in vitro via a nucleated growth pathway directly yielding amyloid-like aggregates. We show here that the 17 amino acid flanking sequence (htt(NT)) N-terminal to the polyQ in the toxic huntingtin exon1 fragment imparts onto this peptide a complex altern...
