Ataxin-1 Nuclear Localization and Aggregation Role in Polyglutamine-Induced Disease in SCA1 Transgenic Mice
Transgenic mice carrying the spinocerebellar ataxia type 1 (SCA1) gene, a polyglutamine neurodegenerative disorder, develop ataxia with ataxin-1 localized to aggregates within cerebellar Purkinje cells nuclei. To examine the importance of nuclear localization and aggregation in pathogenesis, mice expressing ataxin-1[82] with a mutated NLS were established. These mice did not develop disease, de...
متن کاملProteotoxic stress increases nuclear localization of ataxin-3.
Spinocerebellar ataxia type 3 (SCA3)/Machado Joseph disease results from expansion of the polyglutamine domain in ataxin-3 (Atx3). Atx3 is a transcriptional co-repressor, as well as a deubiquitinating enzyme that appears to function in cellular pathways involved in protein homeostasis. In this study, we show that interactions of Atx3 with valosin-containing protein and hHR23B are dynamic and mo...
متن کاملAtaxin-1 Fusion Partners Alter PolyQ Lethality and Aggregation
Intranuclear inclusion bodies (IBs) are the histopathologic markers of multiple protein folding diseases. IB formation has been extensively studied using fluorescent fusion products of pathogenic polyglutamine (polyQ) expressing proteins. These studies have been informative in determining the cellular targets of expanded polyQ protein as well as the methods by which cells rid themselves of IBs....
متن کاملNuclear aggregation of polyglutamine-expanded ataxin-3: fragments escape the cytoplasmic quality control.
Expansion of a polymorphic polyglutamine segment is the common denominator of neurodegenerative polyglutamine diseases. The expanded proteins typically accumulate in large intranuclear inclusions and induce neurodegeneration. However, the mechanisms that determine the subcellular site and rate of inclusion formation are largely unknown. We found that the conserved putative nuclear localization ...
متن کاملConformational Behavior and Aggregation of Ataxin-3 in SDS
Spinocerebellar ataxia type 3 (SCA3) is one of nine polyglutamine (polyQ) diseases all characterized by the presence of intraneuronal inclusions that contain aggregated protein. Aggregation of ataxin-3, the causative protein of SCA3, has been well characterized in vitro, with both pathogenic and non-pathogenic length ataxin-3 undergoing fibrillogenesis. However, only ataxin-3 containing an expa...
