reach
"Together, these results indicate that ataxin-3 functions with CHIP to prevent the incorporation of additional ubiquitin to chains on substrates once they reach a certain length."

reach
"Thus, in one possible mechanism of suppression, ataxin-3 could suppress toxicity by simply increasing the pool of free ubiquitin."

reach
"For instance, the deubiquitinase Ataxin-3 was shown to interact with C-terminus of Hsc70 Interacting Protein (CHIP), a major mammalian E3 ligase involved in cytosolic PQC, to limit the length of ubiquitin chains built on CHIP substrates XREF_BIBR."

reach
"By binding the minimum length poly-ubiquitin chain on substrates, ATXN3 may prevent complete removal of the ubiquitin chain by other DUBs, and thus facilitate its recognition by the 26S proteasome."

reach
"We have found that aggregation of polyQ expanded Atx3 can sequester P97 and Ub conjugates into the protein aggregates or inclusions through specific interactions both in vitro and in cells."

reach
"These results support a model in which ataxin-3 effectively limits ubiquitin chain extension once chains reach a critical length."

reach
"When substrates are soluble, ATX3 prevents their premature degradation by removing K48‐linked Ub chains to slow down the rate of p97‐dependent degradation."

reach
"PolyQ expanded huntingtin and ataxin-3 sequester ubiquitin adaptors hHR23B and UBQLN2 into aggregates via conjugated ubiquitin."

reach
"Absence of ataxin-3 UIMs 1 and 2 shows reduced binding of ubiquitin chains."

reach
"An unbiased, semi-automated quantitative analysis (XREF_SUPPLEMENTARY) revealed that knock-down of ataxin-3 indeed impaired the accumulation ofRNF8 (Fig XREF_FIG A), RNF168 (Fig XREF_FIG B), and ubiquitin conjugates atlaser induced DSBs (Fig XREF_FIG C)."

reach
"In CHIP ubiquitination assays, ataxin-3 functions to restrict the length of ubiquitin chains attached to CHIP substrates, terminating ubiquitin incorporation once chains reach a critical length."
