Huntingtin promotes cell survival by preventing Pak2 cleavage

Huntington's disease is caused by a polyglutamine expansion in the huntingtin protein. Wild-type huntingtin, by contrast, appears to protect cells from pro-apoptotic insults. Here we describe a novel anti-apoptotic function for huntingtin. When cells are exposed to Fas-related signals, the ubiq...
