This interaction wasn't seen with normal -
length huntingtin RNA.
Because of the interaction with the helper complex, the cells made more extra-length than normal -
length huntingtin protein.
Because the helper complex makes translation more efficient, the result of this interaction was that the cells made more extra-length than normal -
length huntingtin protein.
