Abstract

Ataxin-3 (ATXN3) is a widely expressed protein that binds to ubiquitylated proteins, has deubiquitylating activity in vitro and is thought to modulate substrate degradation through the ubiquitin-proteasome pathway. Expansion of a polyglutamine tract in ATXN3 causes Machado-Joseph disease, a late-onset neurodegenerative disorder characterized by ubiquitin-positive aggregate formation and specific neuronal death. Although ATXN3 has been involved in transcriptional repression and in the ubiquitin-proteasome pathway, its biological function is still unknown. In this work, we show that depletion of ATXN3 using small-interference RNA (siRNA) causes a prominent phenotype in both human and mouse cell lines. A mild increase in ubiquitylation occurs and cells exhibit ubiquitin-positive foci, which is consistent with ATXN3 putative function as a deubiquitylating enzyme. In addition, siATXN3-silenced cells exhibit marked morphological changes such as rounder shape and loss of adhesion protrusions. At a structural level, the microtubule, microfilament and intermediate filament networks are severely compromised and disorganized. This cytoskeletal phenotype is reversible and dependent on ATXN3 levels. Cell-extracellular matrix connection is a...Continue Reading

Apoptotic Caspases

Apoptotic caspases belong to the protease enzyme family and are known to play an essential role in inflammation and programmed cell death. Here is the latest research.

Apoptosis

Apoptosis is a specific process that leads to programmed cell death through the activation of an evolutionary conserved intracellular pathway leading to pathognomic cellular changes distinct from cellular necrosis

Adhesion Molecules in Health and Disease

Cell adhesion molecules are a subset of cell adhesion proteins located on the cell surface involved in binding with other cells or with the extracellular matrix in the process called cell adhesion. In essence, cell adhesion molecules help cells stick to each other and to their surroundings. Cell adhesion is a crucial component in maintaining tissue structure and function.
