Western Blot (WB)
(Figure 1. Western blot analysis of Ataxin 3 using anti-Ataxin 3 antibody (PB9423). Electrophoresis was performed on a 5-20% SDS-PAGE gel at 70V (Stacking gel) / 90V (Resolving gel) for 2-3 hours. The sample well of each lane was loaded with 50ug of sample under reducing conditions. Lane 1: Rat Brain Tissue Lysate Lane 2: COLO320 Whole Cell Lysate Lane 3: HELA Whole Cell Lysate After Electrophoresis, proteins were transferred to a Nitrocellulose membrane at 150mA for 50-90 minutes. Blocked the membrane with 5% Non-fat Milk/ TBS for 1.5 hour at RT. The membrane was incubated with rabbit anti-Ataxin 3 antigen affinity purified polyclonal antibody at 0.5 ug/mL overnight at 4 degree C, then washed with TBS-0.1%Tween 3 times with 5 minutes each and probed with a goat anti-rabbit IgG-HRP secondary antibody at a dilution of 1:10000 for 1.5 hour at RT. The signal is developed using an Enhanced Chemiluminescent detection (ECL) kit with Tanon 5200 system. A specific band was detected for Ataxin 3 at approximately 42KD. The expected band size for Ataxin 3 is at 42KD.)

Background: ATXN3 (Ataxin 3), also known as AT3, MJD GENE, MJD1, SCA3 GENE, ATX3, JOS, Spinocerebellar ataxia-3, Machado-Joseph disease protein 1, is a protein that in humans is encoded by the ATXN3 gene. ATXN3 ranges in size from 360 to 374 amino acids. Using Northern blot analysis showed that ATXN3 mRNA was ubiquitously expressed in human tissues. They detected at least 4 ATXN3 transcripts of 1.4, 1.8, 4.5, and 7.5 kb and suggested that the different mRNA species probably result from differential splicing and polyadenylation. Machado-Joseph disease, also known as spinocerebellar ataxia-3, is an autosomal dominant neurologic disorder. The protein encoded by the ATXN3 gene contains (CAG)n repeats in the coding region, and the expansion of these repeats from the normal 13-36 to 68-79 is the cause of Machado-Joseph disease. There is an inverse correlation between the age of onset and CAG repeat numbers. Alternatively spliced transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been described for this gene. Ataxin-3 interacted with 2 human homologs of the yeast DNA repair protein RAD23, HHR23A (RAD23A) and HHR23B (RAD23B). Both normal and mutant ataxin-3 proteins interacted with the ubiquitin-like domain at the N terminus of the HHR23 proteins, which is a motif important for nucleotide excision repair. However, in HEK 293 cells, HHR23A was recruited to intranuclear inclusions formed by the mutant ataxin-3 through its interaction with ataxin-3.

NCBI Description
Machado-Joseph disease, also known as spinocerebellar ataxia-3, is an autosomal dominant neurologic disorder. The protein encoded by this gene contains (CAG)n repeats in the coding region, and the expansion of these repeats from the normal 13-36 to 68-79 is one cause of Machado-Joseph disease. There is a negative correlation between the age of onset and CAG repeat numbers. Alternatively spliced transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been described for this gene.

Uniprot Description
ataxin-3: Deubiquitinating enzyme involved in protein homeostasis maintenance, transcription, cytoskeleton regulation, myogenesis and degradation of misfolded chaperone substrates. Binds long polyubiquitin chains and trims them, while it has weak or no activity against chains of 4 or less ubiquitins. Involved in degradation of misfolded chaperone substrates via its interaction with STUB1/CHIP: recruited to monoubiquitinated STUB1/CHIP, and restricts the length of ubiquitin chain attached to STUB1/CHIP substrates and preventing further chain extension. In response to misfolded substrate ubiquitination, mediates deubiquitination of monoubiquitinated STUB1/CHIP. Interacts with key regulators of transcription and represses transcription: acts as a histone- binding protein that regulates transcription. Defects in ATXN3 are the cause of spinocerebellar ataxia type 3 (SCA3); also known as Machado-Joseph disease (MJD). Spinocerebellar ataxia is a clinically and genetically heterogeneous group of cerebellar disorders. Patients show progressive incoordination of gait and often poor coordination of hands, speech and eye movements, due to degeneration of the cerebellum with variable involvement of the brainstem and spinal cord. SCA3 belongs to the autosomal dominant cerebellar ataxias type I (ADCA I) which are characterized by cerebellar ataxia in combination with additional clinical features like optic atrophy, ophthalmoplegia, bulbar and extrapyramidal signs, peripheral neuropathy and dementia. The molecular defect in SCA3 is the a CAG repeat expansion in ATXN3 coding region. Longer expansions result in earlier onset and more severe clinical manifestations of the disease. 3 isoforms of the human protein are produced by alternative splicing.
