Spinocerebellar ataxia 1 (SCA1), an autosomal dominant neurodegenerative disorder, is characterized by slurred speech, loss of limb coordination, and gait abnormalities resulting from the degeneration of cerebellar Purkinje cells and of a subset of brainstem neurons (1). Individuals with SCA1 have a highly polymorphic CAG repeat expansion encoding a polyglutamine tract in ataxin-1 (2). Akt phosphorylates ataxin-1 at Ser776, which regulates an association with 14-3-3. This interaction increases ataxin-1 stabilization and accumulation resulting in enhanced neurodegeneration (3). In addition, HSP70 controls the effect that phosphorylation has on ataxin-1 stability (4).
