As protein factors relating to the transcription of a Huntington~s disease gene product, it is intended to provide isolated and purified Huntington~s disease gene transcriptional factors characterized by respectively having the amino acid sequences represented by SEQ ID NOS:2 and 4. Also, it is intended to provide polynucleotides encoding these transcriptional factors. The above factors and polynucleotides are useful in developing therapeutic techniques for artificially controlling the formation of a pathogenic huntingtin protein in HD and developing therapies and remedies for selective nerve cell death in HD.

Selon l'invention, en tant que facteurs protéiques liés à la transcription d'un produit génétique de la chorée de Huntington, sont utilisés des facteurs de transcription de gène de la chorée de Huntington isolés et purifiés se caractérisant respectivement par les séquences d'acides aminés représentées par SEQ ID NOS:2 et 4. L'invention a également pour objet des polynucléotides codant pour ces facteurs de transcription. Les facteurs et polynucléotides mentionnés ci-dessus sont utiles pour la mise au point de techniques thérapeutiques permettant la régulation artificielle de la formation d'une protéine huntingtine pathogène impliquée dans la chorée de Huntington, et pour la mise au point de thérapies et d'agents de traitement provoquant la mort sélective des cellules nerveuses impliquées dans la chorée de Huntington.
