Abstract excerpt
Spinocerebellar ataxia type 1 (SCA1) is one of several progressive neurodegenerative diseases caused by the expanded polyglutamine tract in ataxin-1, the SCA1 gene product. In SCA1 patients and transgenic mice, the affected neuronal cells contain a large ubiquitin-positive aggregate which is derived from the mutant ataxin-1. Small ubiquitin-like modifier-1 (SUMO-1) is one of the most intriguing ubiquitin-like...
