BACKGROUND: Protein interactions participate in many molecular mechanisms involved in cellular processes. The human TATA box binding protein (hTBP) interacts with Antennapedia (Antp) through its N-terminal region, specifically via its glutamine homopeptides. This PolyQ region acts as a binding site for other transcription factors under normal conditions, but when it expands, it generates spinocerebellar ataxia 17 (SCA17), whose protein aggregates in the brain prevent its correct functioning.
OBJECTIVE: To determine whether the hTBP glutamine-rich region is involved in its interaction with homeoproteins and the role it plays in the formation of protein aggregates in SCA17.
MATERIAL AND METHODS: We characterized hTBP interaction with other homeoproteins using BiFC, and modeled SCA17 in Drosophila melanogaster by targeting hTBPQ80 to the fly brain using UAS/GAL4.
RESULTS: There was hTBP interaction with homeoproteins through its glutamine-rich region, and hTBP protein aggregates with expanded glutamines were found to affect the locomotor capacity of flies.
CONCLUSIONS: The study of hTBP interactions opens the possibility for the search for new therapeutic strategies in neurodegenerative pathologies such as SCA17.
