Abstract

Background: The E mutation in the AAA ATPase torsinA is associated with the neurological disease torsion dystonia. Results: BiP and its co-factors maintain torsinA and torsinAE stability, glycosylation, and solubility. Conclusion: torsinA/E, a chaperone-like protein, requires the assistance of other chaperones to fold. Significance: Therapeutics that modulate BiP may counteract torsinAE-associated physiological defects.
