Machado–Joseph disease/spinocerebellar ataxia-3 (MJD/SCA-3) is an inherited neurodegenerative disorder caused by expansion of the polyglutamine stretch in the MJD gene-encoded protein ataxin-3.

CHARACTERIZATION OF THE UBIQUITIN LIGASE, UBE4B, IN ENDOCYTIC TRAFFICKING [PDF]
Endocytosis is a process by which cells internalize membrane proteins to remove them from the plasma membrane, allowing cells to regulate the cell surface expression of transmembrane proteins.

Chronic treatment with 17-DMAG improves balance and coordination in a new mouse model of Machado-Joseph disease [PDF]
Machado-Joseph disease (MJD) or spinocerebellar ataxia type 3 (SCA3) is a neurodegenerative disease currently with no treatment. We describe a novel mouse model of MJD which expresses mutant human ataxin-3 at near endogenous levels and manifests MJD-like

ORMDL proteins in the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) negatively regulate serine palmitoyltransferase (SPT) activity in response to the rate of de novo sphingolipid synthesis. Disruption of ceramide homeostasis by myriocin or fumonisin B1 (FB1) appears to destabilize the ORMDL‐SPT complex, leading to ORMDL degradation as a feedback mechanism.

Promoter Variation and Expression Levels of Inflammatory Genes IL1A, IL1B, IL6 and TNF in Blood of Spinocerebellar Ataxia Type 3 (SCA3) Patients [PDF]
Age at onset in spinocerebellar ataxia type 3 (SCA3/MJD) is incompletely explained by the size of the CAG tract at the ATXN3 gene, implying the existence of genetic modifiers.

Beclin 1 mitigates motor and neuropathological deficits in genetic mouse models of Machado-Joseph disease [PDF]
Machado-Joseph disease or spinocerebellar ataxia type 3, the most common dominantly-inherited spinocerebellar ataxia, results from translation of the polyglutamine-expanded and aggregation prone ataxin 3 protein.

Discovery of Therapeutic Approaches for Polyglutamine Diseases: A Summary of Recent Efforts [PDF]
Polyglutamine (PolyQ) diseases are a group of neurodegenerative disorders caused by the expansion of cytosine-adenine-guanine (CAG) trinucleotide repeats in the coding region of specific genes.

Ataxin‐1 is a polyglutamine protein associated with the etiology of spinocerebellar ataxia type 1 (SCA1) that has been recently found implicated in the risk of developing the autoimmune disorder multiple sclerosis (MS). Here, we took a conditional knockout approach to ablate ataxin‐1 exclusively in the B‐cell compartment and we found that this protein ...

Ataxin-3 phosphorylation protects neurons [PDF]
![Figure][1] Expanded ataxin-3 causes an extensive loss of neurons (brown) in rat brains (left). But the amount of neurodegeneration is reduced when serine 12 is mutated to aspartate (right).
