1 Poly-glutamine-dependent self-association as a potential mechanism for regulation of androgen receptor activity. polyglutamine androgen receptor Homo sapiens
2 We also show that the AR-NTD can undergo liquid-liquid phase separation in vitro, with longer polyQ sequences phase separating more readily. polyglutamine androgen receptor Homo sapiens
3 Moreover, longer polyQ sequences hinder nuclear localization in the absence of hormone and increase the propensity for formation of AR-containing puncta in the nucleus of cells treated with dihydrotestosterone. polyglutamine androgen receptor Homo sapiens
4 These results lead us to hypothesize that polyQ-dependent liquid-liquid phase separation may provide a mechanism to decrease the transcriptional activity of AR, potentially opening new opportunities to design effective therapies against CRPC and muscular atrophy. polyglutamine androgen receptor Homo sapiens
