PHYSICAL PROPERTIES

motifs/domains
  • five PY motifs
  • one at the end of the proline repeat
  • two between the proline and glutamine repeats
  • two between glutamine repeats
  • the region of alternating acidic and basic residues with several truncated forms
  • a repeat of a polyglutamine stretch encoded by CAG repeat
  • an Atro-box
  • C-terminal fragment playing a principal role in the pathological accumulation of ATN1 in dentatorubral-pallidoluysian atrophy , C-terminal part of ATN1, conserved 16-amino-acid "HX repeat" motif (residues 1049–1065)

    basic FUNCTION
  • ATN1 and the short form of RERE, can act as potent and evolutionarily conserved transcriptional activators
  • FAT1 and ATRS (ATN1 and RERE), act in concert after vascular injury but show further that distinct Atr isoforms have disparate effects on vascular smooth muscle cells directional migration
  • expanded polyQ repeats in ATN1 may contribute to neurodegeneration via alterations in both protein aggregation and intracellular localization
  • critical role of the ATN1 HX repeat motif in the control of human embryonic development
  • CELLULAR PROCESS nucleotide, transcription, regulation

    INTERACTION

    small molecule
    protein
  • SH3 domain of BAIAP2 binding, RERE
  • FAT1 interacted with both ATN1 and ATN2 (these interactions required FAT1 AAs 4300-4400 and an intact Atro-box in the ATNs)
  • interactions between FAT1 and Atrophins (ATN1, RERE) might contribute to FAT1 effects on vascular smooth muscle cells
  • involvement of KDM1A in ATN1 expression and neuronal progenitor cell (NPC) maintenance
  • cell & other

    ANIMAL & CELL MODELS
  • C-terminal deletion of the atrophin-1 protein results in growth retardation but not neurodegeneration in mice
