The ataxin-1 interactome reveals direct connection with multiple disrupted nuclear transport pathways

Patients with spinocerebellar ataxia type 1 express ataxin-1 with an extended polyglutamine (polyQ) tract that forms distinctive nuclear bodies. Here, the authors characterize the cellular pathways affected by polyQ-ataxin-1, showing that it disrupts multiple nuclear transport processes.
