Research Abstract |
The neurological phenotypes of the polyglutamine (polyQ) diseases have been reported to be caused by neuronal dysfunction rather than cell death. However, the mechanisms involved in polyQ-induced neuronal dysfunction in vivo are not fully understood. To investigate the mechanisms of polyQ-induced neuronal dysfunction in vivo, we screened for modifier genes of neuronal dysfunction using a Drosophila polyQ disease model. As a result, we successfully identified Sup1 and Sup5 genes as new genes that are involved in the mechanisms of polyQ-induced neuronal dysfunction.
