A single N‐terminal phosphomimic disrupts TDP‐43 polymerization, phase separation, and RNA splicing
TDP-43 is an RNA-binding protein active in splicing that concentrates into membraneless ribonucleoprotein granules and forms aggregates in amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) and Alzheimer's disease. Although best known for its predominantly disordered C-terminal domain which mediates ALS inclusions, TDP-43 has a globular N-terminal domain (NTD). Here, we show that TDP-43 NTD assembles into hea...
متن کاملExpression of TDP-43 C-terminal Fragments in Vitro Recapitulates Pathological Features of TDP-43 Proteinopathies.
The disease protein in frontotemporal lobar degeneration with ubiquitin-positive inclusions (FTLD-U) and amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) was identified recently as the TDP-43 (TAR DNA-binding protein 43), thereby providing a molecular link between these two disorders. In FTLD-U and ALS, TDP-43 is redistributed from its normal nuclear localization to form cytoplasmic insoluble aggregates. Mo...
متن کاملElectrostatic Repulsion Governs TDP-43 C-terminal Domain Aggregation
TDP-43 is a protein with multiple crucial functions in RNA processing and mRNA-protein (mRNP) particle formation, two processes that are strongly implicated in amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) and frontotemporal lobar dementia (FTLD) [1]. The recently published structural characterization by Lim, Wei, Lu, and Song [2] of the complete (residues 262–414) C-terminal domain (CTD) of TDP-43 and t...
متن کاملThe extreme N-terminus of TDP-43 mediates the cytoplasmic aggregation of TDP-43 and associated toxicity in vivo
Inclusions of Tar DNA- binding protein 43 (TDP-43) are a pathological hallmark of amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) and frontotemporal lobar degeneration with TDP-43-positive inclusions (FTLD-TDP). Pathological TDP-43 exhibits the disease-specific biochemical signatures, which include its ubiquitination, phosphorylation and truncation. Recently, we demonstrated that the extreme N-terminus of ...
متن کاملProtein N-terminal acetylation is required for embryogenesis in Arabidopsis
Early embryonic development generates precursors of all major cell types in Arabidopsis. Among these precursors, the hypophysis divides asymmetrically to form the progenitors of the quiescent center and columella stem cells. A great deal has been learnt about the mechanisms that control the asymmetric division of the hypophysis and embryogenesis at the transcriptional level; however, no evidenc...
