Functional genomics and biochemical characterization of the C. elegans orthologue of the Machado-Joseph disease protein ataxin-3

Machado-Joseph disease (MJD) is the most common dominant spinocerebellar ataxia. MJD is caused by a CAG trinucleotide expansion in the ATXN3 gene, which encodes a protein named ataxin-3. Ataxin-3 has been proposed to act as a deubiquitinating enzyme in the ubiquitin-proteasome pathway and to be invo...
