VCP recruitment to mitochondria causes mitophagy impairment and neurodegeneration in models of Huntington’s disease

Mitochondria defects caused by mutant huntingtin (mtHtt) have been implicated in Huntington's disease. Here authors show that VCP binds to mtHtt on the mitochondria, and that treatment with a peptide that disrupts this interaction reduces the cellular and behavioural deficits in mouse models of...

Sumario:Mitochondria defects caused by mutant huntingtin (mtHtt) have been implicated in Huntington's disease. Here authors show that VCP binds to mtHtt on the mitochondria, and that treatment with a peptide that disrupts this interaction reduces the cellular and behavioural deficits in mouse models of HD.
