We have previously observed a reduction in phosphorylation of mhtt at S421 in the presence of the mutation for HD. In addition, phosphorylation of normal S421-htt is reduced after excitotoxic stimulation of NMDA receptors (NMDARs). To test whether NMDAR stimulation contributes to reduced pS421-htt levels in HD, we determined phosphorylation of htt at Ser<jats:sup>421<\/jats:sup>after NMDA-induced excitotoxicity in neurons from YAC128 mice.<\/jats:p><jats:p>Here, we report that the total level of pS421-htt is reduced in YAC128 primary neurons after excitotoxic NMDAR stimulation. Similarly, the total level of pS421-htt is reduced in YAC128 transgenic mice after quinolinic acid injection into the striatum. In contrast, loss of phosphorylation of pS421-htt is prevented in YAC mice that never develop clinical or neuropathological features of HD [the caspase 6-resistant YAC128 transgene (C6R)].<\/jats:p><jats:p>To gain insight into the mechanisms underlying these findings, we determined that the Ser\/Thr protein phosphatases PP1 and PP2A dephosphorylate pS421-htt<jats:italic>in situ<\/jats:italic>and after excitotoxic stimulation of NMDARs in neurons. Furthermore, increasing the phosphorylation of htt at S421 by blocking PP1 and PP2A activity protects YAC128 striatal neurons from NMDA-induced cell death. These results, together with the observed modulation of pS421-htt levels by dopamine, the reduced expression of PP1 inhibitor Darpp-32 in the striatum of YAC128 mice, and the reduced phosphorylation of PP1 substrate CreB, point to altered regulation of phosphatase activity in HD and highlight enhancing phosphorylation of htt at S421 as a therapeutic target.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1523\/jneurosci.1589-10.2010","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2010,10,27]],"date-time":"2010-10-27T18:05:06Z","timestamp":1288202706000},"page":"14318-14329","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":80,"title":["Phosphorylation
