A toxic protein linked to Huntington's disease can move from neuron to neuron through a nanotube tunnel whose construction is initiated by a protein called Rhes, say scientists at Scripps Research.

One difficulty has been a limited understanding of how the mutant huntingtin protein sets off brain cell death, says neuroscientist Srinivasa Subramaniam, PhD, of Scripps Research, Florida.

Srinivasa Subramaniam, PhD, N euroscientist, Scripps Research Institute. Cells contain millions of ribosomes each, all whirring along and using genetic information to assemble amino acids and make ...

“The ribosome has to keep moving along to build the proteins, but in Huntington’s disease, the ribosome is slowed,” explained Srinivasa Subramaniam, PhD, a neuroscientist at Scripps and ...

Huntington's disease begins with symptoms like movement and balance problems, weakness, and behavioral disturbances, and it is ultimately fatal. Although researchers have known since 1993 that ...

“We found Rheb acts like the gas pedal in a car,” stated Srinivasa Subramaniam, Ph.D., assistant professor of neuroscience at TSRI, Florida and senior author on the current study.

The gene for Huntington's disease was found nearly 40 years ago, yet there are no approved treatments. A new study shows the problem may lie with slowed protein assembly.
