Ataxin-3, also known as Machado-Joseph Disease (MJD) Protein 1 and Spinocerebellar Ataxia Type 3, is a 364 amino acid (aa), ubiquitously expressed cytoplasmic and nuclear protein with a predicted molecular weight of 42 kDa. Ataxin-3 functions as a deubiquitinating enzyme. Human Ataxin-3 shares 87% and 86% aa sequence identity with mouse and rat Ataxin-3, respectively. Full-length Ataxin-3 contains a N-terminal josephin domain, two ubiquitin interacting motifs, and a variable C-terminus consisting of a polyglutamine stretch and tail. As a deubiquitinating enzyme, Ataxin-3 plays a critical role in affecting the ubiquitination status of proteins for quality control and other cellular pathways. In turn, the ubiquitination of Ataxin-3 was shown to enhance its capacity to cleave ubiquitin chains. By opposing the actions of the ubiquitin-conjugating (E2) enzyme UBE2W, Ataxin-3 is believed to control the activity of the ubiquitin ligase (E3) C-terminus of Hsp70 Interacting Protein (CHIP). CHIP binds to protein chaperones and represents an important molecular link between the chaperone and ubiquitin-proteasome system. Expression of murine Ataxin-3 is thought to be important for myogenesis, an effect that is dependent on the regulation of Integrin α 5 levels. Mutations in the ATXN3 gene are the cause of MJD, also known as spinocerebellar ataxia 3, an autosomal dominant neurodegenerative disorder characterized by nuclear aggregation of Ataxin-3 molecules featuring an expanded polyglutamine trac.
