This is a Conceptual Diagram on the Entanglement of Toxic Protein and Foxo Protein Coiled-coil Structure; In a nerve cell, the coiled-coil structure of polyglutamine toxic protein is entangled with Foxo protein, a transcription factor. Here, the Foxo protein loses its normal functions and early neuropathology of degenerative brain disorder such as dendrite loss appears.
