The mechanisms of pathology for the family of
polyglutamine disease proteins are unknown; however, recently it was
shown that several of these proteins inhibit transcription suggesting
that transcriptional repression may be a potential mechanism for
pathology. In the present study we use cell transfections, in
vitro binding, co-immunoprecipitations, and reporter assays to
show that the polyglutamine disease protein, ataxin-3, interacts with
the major histone acetyltransferases cAMP-response-element binding
protein (CREB)-binding protein, p300, and p300/CREB-binding
protein-associated factor and inhibits transcription by these
coactivators. Importantly, endogenous ataxin-3 is co-immunoprecipitated
with each of these coactivators in non-transfected cells. The
C-terminal polyglutamine-containing domain of ataxin-3 inhibits
coactivator-dependent transcription and is required for
binding coactivators. The N-terminal domain of ataxin-3 inhibits
histone acetylation by p300 in vitro and inhibits
transcription in vivo. Histone binding and blocking access of coactivators to acetylation sites on histones appears to be the
mechanism of inhibition. Together, our data provide a novel mechanism
of transcriptional regulation by ataxin-3 that involves targeting
histones, coactivators, and an independent mode of direct repression of
transcription, and suggests that its physiological function and
possibly pathological effects are linked to its interactions with these proteins.
