Proteins with long polyglutamine repeats form a complex with glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate dehydrogenase (GAPDH), which enhances aggregation and cytotoxicity in models of Huntington disease. The aim of this study was to develop a novel assay for the screening of anti-aggregation compounds with a focus on the aggregation-promoting capacity of GAPDH. The assay includes a pure Q58 polyglutamine fragment, GAPDH, and a transglutaminase that links the two proteins. The feasibility of the new assay was verified using two GAPDH binders, hydroxynonenal and -(-)deprenyl, and the benzothiazole derivative PGL-135 which exhibits anti-aggregation effect. All three substances were shown to reduce aggregation and cytotoxicity in the cell and in the fly model of Spinocerebellar ataxia.

Small noncoding RNAs fulfill key functions in cellular and organismal biology, typically working in concert with RNA-binding proteins (RBPs). While proteome-wide methodologies have enormously expanded the repertoire of known RBPs, these methods do not distinguish RBPs binding to small noncoding RNAs from the rest. To specifically identify this relevant subclass of RBPs, we developed small noncoding RNA interactome capture (snRIC) based on the differential RNA-binding capacity of silica matrices (2C).

Glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate dehydrogenase (GAPDH) is one of the most abundant targets of the oxidative stress. Oxidation of the enzyme causes its inactivation and the formation of intermolecular disulfide bonds, and leads to the accumulation of GAPDH aggregates and ultimately to cell death. The aim of this work was to reveal the ability of chemicals to break the described above pathologic linkage by inhibiting GAPDH aggregation.
