Atrophin-1 is a protein that in humans is encoded by the ATN1 gene.[3] The encoded protein includes a serine repeat and a region of alternating acidic and basic amino acids, as well as the variable glutamine repeat.[4] The function of Atrophin-1 has not yet been determined.[5] There is evidence provided by studies of Atrophin-1 in animals to suggest it acts as a transcriptional co-repressor.[5] Atrophin-1 can be found in the nuclear and cytoplasmic compartments of neurons.[5] It is expressed in nervous tissue.[6]

Function

The function of Atrophin-1 has not been defined yet. It is widely hypothesized that Atrophin-1 functions as a transcriptional co-repressor.[7] A transcriptional co-repressor is a protein that indirectly suppresses the activity of specific genes by interacting with DNA-binding proteins.[7]

Clinical significance

The ATN1 gene has a segment of DNA called the CAG trinucleotide repeat.[7] It is made up of cytosine, adenine, and guanine.[7] The number of CAG repeats in the ATN1 gene in a healthy person will range from six to thirty-five repeats.[7] CAG repeats that exceed thirty-five can cause a gain-of-function mutation in ATN1.[8] Studies have supported the idea that mutated Atrophin-1 gathers in neurons and disrupts functions of cells.[9] The sequence of the ATN1 gene contains a nuclear localizing signal (NLS) and a nuclear export signal (NES).[9] It has been shown that a mutation of the NES in ATN1 can change where ATN1 localizes, and can cause aggregation to occur in the nucleus.[9] This can lead to an increase in cellular toxicity.[9]

Mutations in ATN1 are associated with a form of trinucleotide repeat disorder known as "dentatorubral-pallidoluysian atrophy" or "dentatorubropallidoluysian atrophy". Dentatorubral-pallidoluysian atrophy (DRPLA) is a rare neurodegenerative disorder characterized by cerebellar ataxia, myoclonic epilepsy, choreoathetosis, and dementia.[3] The disorder is related to the expansion of a trinucleotide repeat within this gene.[3] In patients with DRPLA, truncated ATN1 has been observed forming intranuclear aggregates that cause cell death.[9] The symptoms of this disorder can credited to the significant reduction of brain and spinal tissue observed in those afflicted with DRPLA[10] There are juvenile-onset and late adult-onsets disorders of DRPLA that experience differing degrees of severity of specific symptoms.[10]
