They are polyglutamine diseases, which gene products codify a mutant protein with an abnormal CAG trinucleotide expansion. This will provoke the formation of toxic insoluble aggregates in the affected neurons. In a disease context stressful situation cells are prone to form stress granules (SGs) that are responsible for accumulate stalled untranslated mRNAs, proteins and several other macromolecules.(...)As doenças de poliglutaminas são doenças raras e hereditárias caracterizadas por mutações que resultam numa expansão anormal do trinucleótido CAG, que codifica o aminoácido glutamina. Os produtos destes genes mutados vão originar proteínas mutantes que tendem a formar agregados intracelulares insolúveis.(...)engAataxia espinocerebelosa tipo 2Ataxina-2Ataxia espinocerebelosa tipo 3Ataxina-3Proteínas de ligação ao RNAGXmaster thesis202470660
