There are no effective therapeutics that antagonize or reverse the protein-misfolding events underpinning polyglutamine (PolyQ) disorders, including Spinocerebellar Ataxia Type-3 (SCA3). Here, we augment the proteostasis network of Drosophila SCA3 models with Hsp104, a powerful protein disaggregase from yeast, which is bafflingly absent from metazoa. Hsp104 suppressed eye degeneration caused by a C-terminal ataxin-3 (MJD) fragment containing the pathogenic expanded PolyQ tract, but unexpectedly enhanced aggregation and toxicity of full-length pathogenic MJD. Hsp104 suppressed toxicity of MJD variants lacking a portion of the N-terminal deubiquitylase domain and full-length MJD variants unable to engage polyubiquitin, indicating that MJD-ubiquitin interactions hinder protective Hsp104 modalities. Importantly, in staging experiments, Hsp104 suppressed toxicity of a C-terminal MJD fragment when expressed after the onset of PolyQ-induced degeneration, whereas Hsp70 was ineffective. Thus, we establish the first disaggregase or chaperone treatment administered after the onset of pathogenic protein-induced degeneration that mitigates disease progression. There are no effective therapeutics for any of the neurodegenerative disorders caused by expanded polyglutamine (PolyQ) tracts including Spinocerebellar Ataxia Type-3 (SCA3). These disorders are connected with the misfolding and aggregation of proteins bearing expanded PolyQ tracts in the neurons of affected individuals. In SCA3, ataxin-3 (MJD) is the protein that bears the PolyQ expansion and forms insoluble aggregates. Here, as a therapeutic strategy we introduce Hsp104, a powerful protein disaggregase from yeast, into Drosophila models of SCA3. Hsp104 has no homologue in animals, but has an unusual ability to dissolve PolyQ aggregates in vitro, an activity that could be harnessed therapeutically. Indeed, Hsp104 suppressed degeneration caused by a C-terminal ataxin-3 (MJD) fragment containing the pathogenic expanded PolyQ tract, which accumulates in disease. However, Hsp104 enhanced aggregation and toxicity of full-length pathogenic MJD. Hsp104 rescued forms of MJD unable to engage polyubiquitin or with a deletion in the deubiquitylase domain indicating that MJD-ubiquitin interactions hinder protective Hsp104 activities. Importantly, Hsp104 suppressed toxicity of a C-terminal MJD fragment when expressed after the onset of PolyQ-induced degeneration, whereas Hsp70 was ineffective. Thus, we establish the first disaggregase or chaperone treatment administered after the onset of pathogenic protein-induced degeneration that mitigates disease progression.
