Staufen1 links RNA stress granules and autophagy in a model of neurodegeneration
Spinocerebellar ataxia type 2 (SCA2) is caused by polyglutamine repeats in the ATXN2 protein. Here the authors demonstrate that Staufen1, known to be an RNA-binding protein, interacts with ATXN2 and contributes to pathology in a mouse model of SCA2.
