1 Huntington toxicity in yeast model depends on polyglutamine aggregation mediated by a prion-like protein Rnq1. polyglutamine prion domain-containing protein RNQ1 Saccharomyces cerevisiae S288C
2 We screened a set of deletions of nonessential genes coding for known prions and related proteins and found that deletion of the RNQ1 gene specifically suppressed aggregation and toxicity of polyQ. polyglutamine prion domain-containing protein RNQ1 Saccharomyces cerevisiae S288C
3 Curing of the prion form of Rnq1 from wild-type cells dramatically suppressed both aggregation and toxicity of polyQ. polyglutamine prion domain-containing protein RNQ1 Saccharomyces cerevisiae S288C
