Preventing Ataxin-3 protein cleavage mitigates degeneration in a Drosophila model of SCA3

Protein cleavage is a common feature in human neurodegenerative disease. Ataxin-3 protein with an expanded polyglutamine (polyQ) repeat causes spinocerebellar ataxia type-3 (SCA3), also called Machado–Joseph disease, and is cleaved in mammalian cells, transgenic mice and SCA3 patient brain tissue.
