IKKalpha and IKKbeta regulation of DNA damage-induced cleavage of huntingtin.
BACKGROUND:Proteolysis of huntingtin (Htt) plays a key role in the pathogenesis of Huntington's disease (HD). However, the environmental cues and signaling pathways that regulate Htt proteolysis are poorly understood. One stimulus may be the DNA damage that accumulates in neurons over time, and...
