ATXN3 activates BECN1. 3 / 3
| 3

reach
"According with the literature, the polyQ stretch in wild-type ataxin-3 induces autophagy by protecting Beclin-1 from proteasome-mediated degradation (Ashkenazi et al., 2017)."

reach
"Beclin-1 stabilization is also promoted by USP19 and ataxin 3, which specifically removes K11- and K48-ubiquitin chain from Belcin-1, respectively [38, 39]."

reach
"On the other hand, the ratio of LC3-II and LC3-I and LC3 total levels (XREF_FIG, D) are enhanced in MJD fibroblasts overexpressing beclin-1, particularly in the presence of chloroquine, reaching similar levels as CTRL fibroblasts (XREF_FIG), which indicates that although the number of autophagosomes is decreased, the autophagic flux can be restored."
