Sirtuin inhibition protects from the polyalanine muscular dystrophy protein PABPN1.
Oculopharyngeal muscular dystrophy (OPMD) is caused by polyalanine expansion in nuclear protein PABPN1 [poly(A) binding protein nuclear 1] and characterized by muscle degeneration. Druggable modifiers of proteotoxicity in degenerative diseases, notably the longevity modulators sirtuins, may constitute useful therapeutic targets. However, the modifiers of mutant PABPN1 are unknown. Here, we repo...
متن کاملPABPN1 gene therapy for oculopharyngeal muscular dystrophy
Oculopharyngeal muscular dystrophy (OPMD) is an autosomal dominant, late-onset muscle disorder characterized by ptosis, swallowing difficulties, proximal limb weakness and nuclear aggregates in skeletal muscles. OPMD is caused by a trinucleotide repeat expansion in the PABPN1 gene that results in an N-terminal expanded polyalanine tract in polyA-binding protein nuclear 1 (PABPN1). Here we show ...

Oculopharyngeal muscular dystrophy (OPMD) is an adult-onset syndrome characterized by progressive degeneration of specific muscles. OPMD is caused by extension of a polyalanine tract in poly(A) binding protein nuclear 1 (PABPN1). Insoluble nuclear inclusions form in diseased muscles. We have generated a Drosophila model of OPMD that recapitulates the features of the disorder. Here, we show that...
متن کاملAn Antibody to Detect Alanine-Expanded PABPN1: A New Tool to Study Oculopharyngeal Muscular Dystrophy
BACKGROUND Oculopharyngeal muscular dystrophy (OPMD), a late onset disorder affecting specific skeletal muscles, is caused by a (GCG)n expansion mutation in the gene encoding the mRNA processing protein, polyadenylate binding protein nuclear 1 (PABPN1). The expansion in PABPN1 leads to an increase in a stretch of N-terminal alanine residues in the PABPN1 protein from the normal 10 to 12-18. Giv...
