CAG Repeat Instability in the Peripheral and Central Nervous System of Transgenic Huntington's Disease Monkeys

In K. Cho, Faye Clever, Gordon Hong, Anthony W. S. Chan

Summary: Huntington's Disease (HD) is an incurable autosomal dominant disease characterized by severe neurodegeneration. The expansion of CAG trinucleotide repeat on the Huntingtin gene (HTT) is responsible for the disease. Our study focused on tissue-specific CAG repeat instability in transgenic nonhuman primate models of HD, and found a correlation between CAG repeat expansion and symptom severity and tissue susceptibility. Additionally, we observed a correlation between CAG repeat expansion and the expression profile of certain genes.

Uncovering the mechanism for aggregation in repeat expanded RNA reveals a reentrant transition

Ofer Kimchi, Ella M. King, Michael P. Brenner

Summary: RNA molecules aggregate under certain conditions, but the mechanism and reasons for this aggregation process still remain unclear. In this study, the authors develop an analytical model based on multimer enumeration to explain the conditions and mechanism of RNA aggregation. The model reveals rich phase behavior and predicts a non-monotonic transition. The results are validated by computational enumeration and molecular dynamics simulations, providing insights into the behavior of RNA aggregates implicated in Huntington's disease and enabling the rational design of programmable RNA condensates.

Conformational and migrational dynamics of slipped-strand DNA three-way junctions containing trinucleotide repeats

Tianyu Hu, Michael J. Morten, Steven W. Magennis

Summary: The study investigates the dynamics of DNA three-way junctions containing slip-outs composed of CAG or CTG repeats using single-molecule Forster resonance energy transfer. Two-state behavior is observed in 3WJs with only repeats in the slip-out, while additional dynamics are observed when the triplet repeats extend into the adjacent duplex, likely involving interconversion of positional isomers. This research suggests a branchpoint migration model that may have implications for how repeat slip-outs are processed by cellular machinery and disease progression.

Summary: Neurodegeneration refers to the loss of neuronal capacity and structure over time, leading to neurodegenerative disorders such as Alzheimer's, amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, Parkinson's, and Huntington's disease (HD). This review primarily focuses on HD, a common single-gene neurological disorder. HD affects the entire body and brain, with a mutant huntingtin polyglutamine sequence that leads to apoptosis and dysfunction. Nanoparticles have emerged as a promising strategy for the treatment of HD, as they can cross the blood-brain barrier and reduce drug toxicity. This review provides an overview of HD, including its symptoms, genetics, and management, and discusses the latest studies on nanotechnology-related technologies for HD treatment.

A Structural Potential of Rare Trinucleotide Repeat Tracts in RNA

Dorota Magner, Rafal Nowak, Elzbieta Lenartowicz Onyekaa, Anna Pasternak, Ryszard Kierzek

Summary: This research focuses on the folding and thermodynamic stability of rare trinucleotide repeats in short tandem RNA sequences. The study finds that rare repeats predominantly stay single-stranded but have the potential for base pairing with partially complementary repeat tracts. The coexistence of different rare repeats in a single RNA creates opportunities for interaction in the context of RNA's secondary structure.

Evidence for a fragile X messenger ribonucleoprotein 1 (FMR1) mRNA gain-of-function toxicity mechanism contributing to the pathogenesis of fragile X-associated premature ovarian insufficiency

Roseanne Rosario, Hazel L. Stewart, Nila Roy Choudhury, Gracjan Michlewski, Nicholas Charlet-Berguerand, Richard A. Anderson

Summary: Fragile X-associated premature ovarian insufficiency (FXPOI) is a disease caused by the expansion of CGG trinucleotide repeat sequence in the FMR1 gene. In this study, the researchers developed an in vitro model to investigate the effects of expanded CGG-repeat RNA on granulosa cells. They found that the accumulated CGG-repeat RNA formed intranuclear RNA structures and caused cell death. Additionally, they identified specific proteins that interacted with the CGG RNA aggregates and showed reduced expression of these proteins in ovarian follicles of a mouse model. These findings provide evidence for the contribution of an mRNA gain-of-function mechanism to FXPOI disease biology.

Nucleoporin POM121 signals TFEB-mediated autophagy via activation of SIGMAR1/sigma-1 receptor chaperone by pridopidine

Shao-Ming Wang, Hsiang-En Wu, Yuko Yasui, Michal Geva, Michael Hayden, Tangui Maurice, Mauro Cozzolino, Tsung-Ping Su

Summary: Autophagy is a crucial cellular process with implications in various diseases. In this study, researchers discovered that the molecular chaperone SIGMAR1 is involved in the transport of TFEB into the nucleus by chaperoning the NP protein POM121, which is responsible for recruiting KPNB1. The disruption of this process in ALS-FTD patients with the C9orf72 subtype leads to impaired autophagy. However, overexpression of SIGMAR1 or POM121, as well as treatment with pridopidine, a SIGMAR1 agonist, can rescue these deficits, suggesting their potential therapeutic use.

Full-length huntingtin is palmitoylated at multiple sites and post-translationally myristoylated following caspase-cleavage

Fanny L. Lemarie, Shaun S. Sanders, Yen Nguyen, Dale D. O. Martin, Michael R. Hayden

Summary: Huntington's disease is a neurodegenerative disorder caused by CAG repeat expansion in the HTT gene. We found that huntingtin protein can be palmitoylated at cysteine 214, and proteolytic cleavage at aspartate 552 leads to myristoylation at glycine 553. Blocking caspase cleavage at aspartate 586 increases myristoylation of huntingtin and promotes the interaction between C-terminal and N-terminal fragments.

Axonal ER Ca2+ Release Selectively Enhances Activity-Independent Glutamate Release in a Huntington Disease Model

James P. Mackay, Amy I. Smith-Dijak, Ellen T. Koch, Peng Zhang, Evan Fung, Wissam B. Nassrallah, Caodu Buren, Mandi Schmidt, Michael R. Hayden, Lynn A. Raymond

Summary: Miniature neurotransmission is increased in the Huntington disease (HD) model, associated with abnormal endoplasmic reticulum (ER) calcium handling. These abnormalities influence neurotransmission indirectly, without direct ER calcium release into the cytoplasm. However, in cortical cultures and brain slices, there are no significant differences in calcium release between the HD-model neurons and wild-type cells.
