abstract = {Expanded CAG trinucleotide repeats in Huntington’s
disease (HD) are causative for neurotoxicity. The mutant CAG
repeat RNA encodes neurotoxic polyglutamine proteins and can
lead to a toxic gain of function by aberrantly recruiting
RNA-binding proteins. One of these is the MID1 protein,
which induces aberrant Huntingtin (HTT) protein translation
upon binding. Here we have identified a set of CAG repeat
binder candidates by in silico methods. One of those,
furamidine, reduces the level of binding of HTT mRNA to MID1
and other target proteins in vitro. Metadynamics
calculations, fairly consistent with experimental data
measured here, provide hints about the binding mode of the
ligand. Importantly, furamidine also decreases the protein
level of HTT in a HD cell line model. This shows that small
molecules masking RNA–MID1 interactions may be active
against mutant HTT protein in living cells.},
