High impact information on ATXN7

  • We have used this technique to clone the pathogenic SCA7 CAG expansion from an archived DNA sample of an individual affected with ataxia and retinal degeneration [6].
  • By positional cloning, we have identified a new gene of unknown function containing a CAG repeat that is expanded in SCA7 patients [8].
  • The gene for spinocerebellar ataxia 7 (SCA7) has been mapped to chromosome 3p12-13 [8].
  • Studies on the effect of mutant ataxin-7 on STAGA function suggest that chromatin remodeling and transcriptional alterations are key pathologic events in SCA type 7 [9].
  • Inversely, disruption of the endogenous nuclear bodies with cadmium increases the nuclear accumulation and aggregation of mutant ataxin-7, demonstrating their role in ataxin-7 turnover [10].
 

Biological context of ATXN7

  • We used a two-hybrid approach to screen a human retina cDNA library for ataxin-7-binding proteins, and isolated R85, a splice variant of Cbl-associated protein (CAP) [2].
  • Elucidation of ataxin-3 and ataxin-7 function by integrative bioinformatics [11].
  • For ataxin-7, the gene product of the SCA7 gene, we have identified an orthology relationship to the yeast open reading frame Ygl066c [11].
  • This neurodegeneration disease is associated with expansion of unstable CAG repeats within the 5'-translated region of the SCA7 gene, located on chromosome 3p [12].
  • The phenotype in this family with SCA7 is that of a cone-rod dystrophy [13].
