Mutated ATXN3 phosphorylates TP53. 4 / 4

reach
"Not only in primary cultures of central nervous cells expressing mutant ataxin-3 but also in pontine nuclei of SCA3 transgenic mice, mutant ataxin-3 can increase the expression of total and phosphorylated p53 as well as the transcriptional activity of p53, which is associated with upregulation of Bax and activated caspase-3 and 9 expression and subsequent apoptotic cell death XREF_BIBR, XREF_BIBR."

reach
"Moreover, mutant ataxin-3 increases the phosphorylation of p53 and enhances the transcriptional activity of p53, which in turn amplifies pro apoptotic protein Bax expression in cultured cerebellar and pontine nuclei neurons XREF_BIBR, XREF_BIBR."

reach
"However, the mechanism by which mutant ATXN3 increases p53 phosphorylation and activates the p53 dependent pro apoptotic signaling pathways to facilitate neuronal death and dysfunction remains unknown."

reach
"For example, the HAT CBP also acts as a CREB binding protein and can take part in transcriptional dysfunction in HD, whereas post-translational modification affects transcriptional regulation, mutant ataxin-3 and mutant ataxin-7 could cause phosphorylation and ubiquitination of p53, resulting in p53 transcriptional regulation."
