Cryo-electron tomography provides topological insights into mutant huntingtin exon 1 and polyQ aggregates

Galaz-Montoya et al. report nanometer-resolution 3D cryo-electron tomography structures of mutant huntingtin (mHTT) and polyglutamine-only (polyQ) filaments in large aggregates free of stains, fixatives, tags, or dehydration artifacts. These results provide a framework for future structural studies...

description Galaz-Montoya et al. report nanometer-resolution 3D cryo-electron tomography structures of mutant huntingtin (mHTT) and polyglutamine-only (polyQ) filaments in large aggregates free of stains, fixatives, tags, or dehydration artifacts. These results provide a framework for future structural studies of mHTT and polyQ aggregates, thereby improving our understanding of polyQ disorders such as Huntington disease.
