What specific molecular mechanisms does polyQ expansion use to disrupt HTT-mediated mitophagy protein complexes?

OPEN

The abstract shows that polyQ expansion affects protein complex formation during mitophagy initiation, but the precise molecular mechanisms by which the expanded tract disrupts these interactions remain unclear. Understanding this could reveal therapeutic targets for restoring mitophagy function in Huntington disease. Gap type: unexplained_observation Source paper: Mutant HTT (huntingtin) impairs mitophagy in a cellular model of Huntington disease. (None, None, PMID:32093570)
