Mar 20,  · TDP-43: A Key Therapeutic Target beyond Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis Accumulation of TDP-43 in the cytoplasm of diseased neurons is the pathological hallmark of

TDP-43 (transactive response DNA binding protein of 43 kDa) is a protein that normally helps to regulate gene expression in the brain and other tissues. Prior studies found that unusually misfolded TDP-43 has a causative role in most cases of amyotrophic lateral sclerosis and frontotemporal lobar degeneration. However, these are relatively

TDP-43 is a 414 amino acids long, 43 kDa heavy protein. From N-term to C-term one can delimit. In December the structure of TDP-43 was resolved with cryo-EM [11] [12] but shortly after it was argued that in the context of FTLD-TDP the protein involved could be TMEM106B (which has been also resolved with cryo-EM), rather than of TDP-43.

This review will summarize what is currently understood regarding normal TDP-43 function and the involvement of TDP-43 in neurodegeneration, and will also highlight some of the many

Tar DNA binding (TDP)-43 proteinopathy, typically described as cytoplasmic accumulation of highly modified and misfolded TDP-43 molecules, is 

We review the progressive development of TDP-43 proteinopathy from cytoplasmic mislocalization and misfolding through to macroaggregation and the addition of phosphate and

Dec 07,  · A typical histological feature of inclusion body myositis (IBM) is cytoplasmic aggregation of the RNA binding protein TAR DNA-binding protein 43 (TDP-43) in the skeletal

We review the progressive development of TDP-43 proteinopathy from cytoplasmic mislocalization and misfolding through to macroaggregation and the addition of phosphate and ubiquitin moieties.

TDP-43: A Key Therapeutic Target beyond Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis Accumulation of TDP-43 in the cytoplasm of diseased neurons is the pathological hallmark of frontotemporal dementia-TDP (FTLD-TDP) and amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS), two diseases that lack efficacious medicine to prevent or to stop disease progression.

Nov 01,  · Trans-activation response DNA-binding protein of 43 kDa (TDP-43), encoded by the gene on chromosome 1, is a major component of tau-negative and ubiquitin-positive inclusions that characterize amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS; see Glossary) and frontotemporal lobar degeneration (FTLD) linked to TDP-43 pathology (FTLD-TDP) [1].

The primary aim of this review is to consolidate the insights that these structures bring to our developing understanding of the functions and deleterious behavior of TDP-43 and to highlight the location of both established and proposed post-translational modifications. Structure Overview
