Structured_descriptionConcise_descriptionatx-3 encodes a deubiquitylating enzyme that is the C. elegans ortholog of human ataxin-3 (ATXN3); atx-3 deletion mutants show no overt phenotype, but loss of atx-3 activity via RNAi has been reported to result in 10-25% embryonic lethality; however, microarray experiments comparing wild-type and atx-3 mutant strains indicate that loss of atx-3 activity results in expression changes in genes involved in the ubiquitin-proteasome pathway, signal transduction, and cell structure and motility; ATX-3 exhibits deubiquitinating (DUB) activity against polyubiquitin chains in vitro; an ATX-3::GFP reporter is expressed throughout the life cycle in a number of different tissues, with adults showing stronger expression than larvae or eggs; ATX-3::GFP localizes to both the nucleus and the cytoplasm, with higher levels found in the cytoplasm.Paper_evidenceWBPaper00005599

Automated_descriptionEnables cysteine-type deubiquitinase activity. Involved in chemical synaptic transmission. Located in cytoplasm and nucleus. Expressed in coelomocyte; head; somatic nervous system; and tail neurons. Used to study Machado-Joseph disease. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in Machado-Joseph disease. Is an ortholog of human ATXN3 (ataxin 3) and ATXN3L (ataxin 3 like).Paper_evidenceWBPaper00065943

Disease_relevanceHuman Ataxin 3 (ATXN3), is a deubiquitinating enzyme and part of the ubiquitin-proteasome system for protein degradation; mutations in ATXN3 are associated with Spinocerebellar ataxia type 3 (SCA3), also called Machado-Joseph disease, which is an autosomal dominant neurodegenerative disease characterized by progressive problems with movement, coordination and balance (ataxia), speech difficulties, uncontrolled muscle tensing (dystonia), and muscle stiffness (spasticity);Homo sapiensAccession_evidenceOMIM607047

Map position created from combination of previous interpolated map position (based on known location of sequence) and allele information. Therefore this is not a genetic map position based on recombination frequencies or genetic experiments. This was done on advice of the CGC.CGC_data_submission
