Abstract:
Ataxin-1 is the protein responsible for the genetically-inherited neurodegenerative disease spinocerebellar ataxia type-1 linked to the expansion of a polyglutamine tract within the protein sequence. The AXH domain of ataxin-1 is essential for the protein to function as a transcriptional co-repressor and mediates the majority of the interactions of ataxin-1 with cellular partners, mainly transcriptional regulators. One of the best characterized ataxin-1 functional partners is Capicua (CIC), a transcriptional repressor involved in signalling pathways that regulate mammalian development, tumorigenesis and, through the interaction with ataxin-1, also neurodegeneration. Complex formation of ataxin-1 with CIC is important both for the function of the wild-type protein and for pathogenesis as transcriptional disregulation is observed since the early stages of the development of the disease. Here we report the (1)H, (13)C and (15)N backbone and side-chain chemical shift assignments of the human ataxin-1 AXH domain in complex with a CIC ligand-peptide.
