ATXN3 deubiquitinates STUB1. 20 / 20
1 | 19

"Indeed, ataxin-3 not only deubiquitinated CHIP, but also trimmed Ub conjugates on CHIP substrates, thereby regulating the length of Ub chains."

reach
"Upon completion of substrate ubiquitination, as determined by chain length, ataxin-3 presumably binds ubiquitinated substrate through its UIMs and deubiquitinates CHIP, thus terminating the reaction (XREF_FIG) [XREF_BIBR]."

reach
"Importantly, ataxin-3 deubiquitinates CHIP, terminating CHIP-substrate interaction; polyQ expansion of ataxin-3 increases its affinity for CHIP and decreases CHIP levels in SCA3 mice, suggesting a surprising role for coordinated regulation of CHIP and ataxin-3 as well as dysregulation of this process in SCA3."

reach
"Evidence further supporting this notion that the ability of ataxin-3 to deubiquitinate CHIP is coupled to the ligase activity of CHIP, came from assays in which ataxin-3-mediated deubiquitination of CHIP did not occur until after poly-Ub conjugates on substrate proteins had attained a certain length."

reach
"The above results do not exclude the possibility that ubiquitin chains per se rather than polyubiquitinated substrates facilitate deubiquitination of CHIP by ataxin-3."

reach
"To determine whether deubiquitination of Ub-CHIP by ataxin-3 requires the presence of ubiquitinated substrate, we performed CHIP ubiquitination reactions with increasing concentrations of HSP90 as substrate, in the presence or absence of ataxin-3 and the chain elongating E2, UbcH5c (XREF_FIG), then assessed the ubiquitin state of CHIP at the end of the reaction."

reach
"Once this occurred, ataxin-3 could now deubiquitinate both CHIP and its substrates, trimming the Ub conjugates at the distal ends."

reach
"Ataxin-3 deubiquitinates CHIP upon completion of substrate polyubiquitination."

reach
"In response to substrate polyubiquitination, ataxin-3 deubiquitinates CHIP."

reach
"In reactions containing ataxin-3 and Ube2w but not UbcH5c (thus preventing chain extension), ataxin-3 did not deubiquitinate Ub-CHIP (XREF_FIG)."

reach
"Ataxin-3 presumably binds polyubiquitinated substrates through its ubiquitin interacting domain and deubiquitinates CHIP to terminate the reaction."

reach
"Once the substrates have been polyubiquitinated, Ataxin-3 deubiquitinates Ub-CHIP, leading to the termination of CHIP mediated substrate ubiquitination."

reach
"Deubiquitination of CHIP by ataxin-3 was found to be only active if the poly-ubiquitin chain on target substrates reaches a critical length, preventing extra ubiquitin incorporation [XREF_BIBR]."

reach
"Upon completion of substrate ubiquitination, ataxin-3 deubiquitinates CHIP, effectively terminating the reaction."

reach
"We next tested whether the presence of UbcH5c, which is needed to polyubiquitinate HSP90, reduced the amount of ataxin-3 needed to deubiquitinate Ub-CHIP in active ubiquitination assays."

reach
"Intriguingly, deubiquitination of Ub-CHIP by ataxin-3 correlated temporally with the accumulation of ubiquitinated substrates and occurred whether ataxin-3 had a normal or expanded polyglutamine domain (XREF_FIG)."

reach
"Intriguingly, monoubiquitination of CHIP appears to enhance the interaction between ataxin-3 and CHIP, and when bound, ataxin-3 can now deubiquitinate CHIP."

reach
"As expected, the presence of this chain elongating E2 markedly enhanced deubiquitination of CHIP by ataxin-3 (XREF_FIG)."

reach
"The fact that efficient deubiquitination of Ub-CHIP by ataxin-3 requires the presence of polyubiquitinated substrate suggests that the UIMs of ataxin-3 play an essential role in this process."

reach
"Here we observed that deubiquitination of CHIP by ataxin-3 occurs in response to the completion of substrate ubiquitination."
