Increased actin binding is a shared molecular consequence of numerous spinocerebellar ataxia mutations in β-III-spectrin
2023-02-21
Abstract excerpt
Spinocerebellar ataxia type 5 (SCA5) is a neurodegenerative disease caused by mutations in the SPTBN2 gene encoding the cytoskeletal protein β-III-spectrin. Previously, we demonstrated that a L253P missense mutation, localizing to the β-III-spectrin actin-binding domain (ABD), causes increased actin-binding affinity. Here we investigate the molecular consequences of nine additional ABD-localized, SCA5 missense mu...
