Interesting webinar about #HuntingtonsDisease is coming on Sept 28th 2023, via the #HDF foundation: https://www.hdfoundation.org/webinars
An online presentation by Judith Frydman and Natalia Barbosa (#Stanford) talking about “How expanding our knowledge of the Huntington's protein can unlock new therapies”. (A statement I fully agree with - to address a protein misfolding disease like HD, we need to understand what this #misfolding process really is!) #polyQ #huntingtondisease #biophysics -
#microRNAs slow translating #ribosomes to prevent protein #misfolding in eukaryotes
Hiroaki Sako, Tadashi Yamamoto and colleagues
The unusual presence of #miRNAs targeting protein-coding sequences is shown to influence ribosome speed, thereby allowing time for accurate #polypeptide folding during protein translation.
