Structural and functional analysis of ataxin-2 and ataxin-3.
Spinocerebellar ataxia types 2 (SCA2) and 3 (SCA3) are autosomal-dominantly inherited, neurodegenerative diseases caused by CAG repeat expansions in the coding regions of the genes encoding ataxin-2 and ataxin-3, respectively. To provide a rationale for further functional experiments, we explored the protein architectures of ataxin-2 and ataxin-3. Using structure-based multiple sequence alignme...
متن کاملPhysiological and pathophysiological aspects of ceramide.
Activation of cells by receptor- and nonreceptor-mediated stimuli not only requires a change in the activity of signaling proteins but also requires a reorganization of the topology of the signalosom in the cell. The cell membrane contains distinct domains, rafts that serve the spatial organization of signaling molecules in the cell. Many receptors or stress stimuli transform rafts by the gener...
متن کاملSplice Isoforms of the Polyglutamine Disease Protein Ataxin-3 Exhibit Similar Enzymatic yet Different Aggregation Properties
Protein context clearly influences neurotoxicity in polyglutamine diseases, but the contribution of alternative splicing to this phenomenon has rarely been investigated. Ataxin-3, a deubiquitinating enzyme and the disease protein in SCA3, is alternatively spliced to encode either a C-terminal hydrophobic stretch or a third ubiquitin interacting motif (termed 2UIM and 3UIM isoforms, respectively...
متن کاملThe Possible Role of TNF-alpha in Physiological and Pathophysiological Cardiac Hypertrophy in Rats
Pathological cardiac hypertrophy was produced by partial abdominal aortic constriction (PAAC) for 4 wk, while physiological cardiac hypertrophy was produced by chronic swimming training (CST) for 8 wk in rats. Pentoxifylline (30 mg/kg, 300 mg/kg i.p., day-1) treatment was started three days before PAAC and CST and it was continued for 4 wk in PAAC and 8 wk in CST experimental model. The left ve...
متن کاملCalcium and cardiac rhythms: physiological and pathophysiological.
Calcium plays two pivotal roles in cardiac excitationcontraction (E-C) coupling.1 Ca drives myofilament activation and carries or regulates ionic currents that are responsible for normal electrical rhythms2 as well as life-threatening arrhythmias.3 In this editorial, I will focus on Ca and pacemaker activity and arrhythmogenesis. Ca entry via Ca current (ICa) triggers sarcoplasmic reticulum (SR...
