Description:
Neurodegeneration: Role of repeats in protein clearance Nature 545, 7652 (2017). doi:10.1038/nature22489 Authors: Dale D. O. Martin & Michael R. Hayden Mutant proteins that contain stretches called polyQ repeats can misfold or form aggregates linked to neurodegeneration. It emerges that some polyQ-containing proteins regulate a process that degrades misfolded proteins. See Letter p.108
