Abstract

Highlights: [•] Ataxin-2 is phosphorylated at multiple sites by Cdk5. [•] Cdk5-mediated phosphorylation induces the proteasomal degradation of ataxin-2. [•] Ataxin-2-41Q is also degraded after phosphorylation by Cdk5. [•] Cdk5 activity may be a therapeutic approach for SCA2. [Copyright &y& Elsevier]
