Chloroplast protein import determines plant proteostasis and retrograde signaling (bioRxiv)
Plant Science Research WeeklyThe neurological condition Huntington’s disease is caused by mutated versions of the Huntingtin gene that encode expanded stretches of polyglutamine repeats, resulting in protein aggregation. However, despite the widespread presence of polyglutamine repeat regions in plant proteomes, similar pathologies…
