Recent genetic correlational studies have implicated DNA damage repair pathways in modifying the age at onset of disease symptoms in SCA1 and Huntington\u2019s Disease, another polyglutamine expansion disease. We demonstrate that both endogenous and transfected ataxin-1 localizes to sites of DNA damage, which is impaired by polyglutamine expansion. This response is dependent on ataxia-telangiectasia mutated (ATM) kinase activity. Further, we characterize an ATM phosphorylation motif within ataxin-1 at serine 188. We show reduction of the Drosophila ATM homolog levels in a ATXN1[82Q] Drosophila model through shRNA or genetic cross ameliorates motor symptoms. These findings offer a possible explanation as to why DNA repair was implicated in SCA1 pathogenesis by past studies. The similarities between the ataxin-1 and the huntingtin responses to DNA damage provide further support for a shared pathogenic mechanism for polyglutamine expansion diseases.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1093\/hmg\/ddab074","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2021,3,19]],"date-time":"2021-03-19T16:19:25Z","timestamp":1616170765000},"page":"706-715","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":8,"title":["Spinocerebellar Ataxia Type 1 protein Ataxin-1 is signaled to DNA damage by ataxia-telangiectasia mutated kinase"],"prefix":"10.1093","volume":"30","author":[{"given":"Celeste E","family":"Suart","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Biochemistry and Biomedical Sciences, McMaster University, Hamilton, Ontario, Canada"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Alma M","family":"Perez","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Molecular and Human Genetics, Department of Molecular and Cellular Biology, Jan and Dan Duncan Neurological Research Institute, Houston, TX, USA"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Ismael","family":"Al-Ramahi","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Molecular and Human Genetics, Department of Molecular and Cellular Biology, Jan and Dan Duncan Neurological Research Institute, Houston, TX, USA"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Tamara","family":"Maiuri","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Biochemistry and Biomedical Sciences, McMaster University, Hamilton, Ontario, Canada"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Juan","family":"Botas","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Molecular and Human Genetics, Department of Molecular and Cellular Biology, Jan and Dan Duncan Neurological Research Institute, Houston, TX, USA"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Ray","family":"Truant","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Biochemistry and Biomedical Sciences, McMaster University, Hamilton, Ontario, Canada"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"286","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2021,3,26]]},"reference":[{"key":"2021070819091925500_ref1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"221","DOI":"10.1038\/ng0793-221","article-title":"Expansion of an unstable trinucleotide CAG repeat in spinocerebellar ataxia type 1","volume":"4","author":"Orr","year":"1993","journal-title":"Nat.
