Background: | Ataxin-3 is a ubiquitously expressed nuclear protein that serves as a deubiquitinating enzyme (DUB) involved in protein homeostasis and quality control, myogenesis and degradation of misfolded chaperone substrates. As a DUB, it has two distinct features. Its N-terminal Josephin domain confers cysteine protease activity to Ataxin-3 which is important for hydrolyzing ubiquitin (Ub) linkages. The second important feature is its three Ub-interacting motifs (UIMs) through which it binds Ub conjugates and ubiquitinated proteins and bring them into proximity to trim or edit specific linkages within these Ub conjugates. It binds long poly-Ub chains and trims them. However, it has weak or no activity against chains of 4 or less Ub. |
