| Post Translational Modifications | Proteolytically cleaved by caspase-7 (CASP7). The cleavage may be involved in SCA7 degeneration: the isoform fragments may exert distinct toxic influences that could contribute to selective neurodegeneration. Sumoylation decreases the aggregation propensity and cellular toxicity of forms with an expanded poly-Gln region but has no effect on subcellular location or interaction with components of the STAGA complex. |
| Function | Acts as a component of the STAGA transcription coactivator-HAT complex. Mediates the interaction of STAGA complex with the CRX and is involved in CRX-dependent gene activation. Necessary for microtubule cytoskeleton stabilization. |
