Caspase activates ATXN3. 5 / 5
| 5

reach
"CDK5 protects from caspase induced Ataxin-3 cleavage and neurodegeneration."

reach
"In line with previous research, there was no increased caspase mediated cleavage of expanded ataxin-3 compared to non expanded ataxin-3."

reach
"Whether caspase mediated ataxin-3 cleavage is indeed a major contributor to SCA3 pathogenesis remains to be determined through future in vivo experiments."

reach
"Finally, caspase mediated cleavage of expanded ataxin-3 resulted in increased ataxin-3 aggregation, suggesting a potential role for caspase mediated proteolysis in spinocerebellar ataxia type-3 pathogenesis."

reach
"A recent publication reported involvement of CDK5 in caspase mediated ataxin-3 cleavage, showing that RNAi of CDK5 in a Drosophila model for SCA 3 resulted in an enhanced SCA 3 toxicity [XREF_BIBR]."
