background: despite the genetic heterogeneity reported in familial als (fals), sod1 gene mutations are the most frequent cause of fals, accounting for around 20% of familial cases (als1) and isolated sporadic cases. mutant forms of sod1 exhibit toxicity that promotes the death of motor neurons. it is well documented that fals produces protein aggregates in the motor neurons of fals patients, wh...
Familial amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (FALS) cases linked to SOD1 mutations may sometimes present with unusual clinical features such as pure lower motor neuron involvement or sensory signs. The authors describe a FALS pedigree with the L144F SOD1 mutation in which all cases had respiratory involvement as a first symptom. Although atypical clinical features are not rare in ALS families, this i...
Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) is an adultonset, rapidly progressive neurodegenerative disorder, caused by the selective loss of upper and lower motor neurons in the cerebral cortex, brainstem and spinal cord. Neuronal degeneration leads to weakness, muscular atrophy, and spasticity that evolve to paralysis. The typical age at onset is between 50 and 60 years, and the global incidence is 1...
Missense and frameshift mutations in TRAF family member-associated NF-kappa-B activator (TANK)-binding kinase 1 (TBK1) have been reported in European sporadic and familial amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) cohorts. To assess the role of TBK1 in ALS patient cohorts of wider ancestry, we have analyzed whole-exome sequence data from an Australian cohort of familial ALS (FALS) patients and contro...
BACKGROUND/AIM The changes in the cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) metabolome associated with the fatal neurodegenerative disease amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) are poorly understood and earlier smaller studies have shown conflicting results. The metabolomic methodology is suitable for screening large cohorts of samples. Global metabolomics can be used for detecting changes of metabolite concentr...
Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) is a rapidly progressive, adult-onset motor neuron disease that arises as a dominantly inherited trait in approximately 10% of ALS cases. Mutations in one gene, cytosolic Cu/Zn superoxide dismutase (SOD1), account for approximately 25% of familial ALS (FALS) cases. We have performed a genetic linkage screen in 16 pedigrees with FALS with no evidence for mutat...
Mutations in copper,zinc-superoxide dismutase (SOD) have been implicated in familial amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (FALS). We have investigated the breakdown of S-nitrosothiols by wild-type (WT) SOD and two common FALS mutants, alanine-4 valine (A4V) SOD and glycine-37 arginine (G37R) SOD. In the presence of glutathione, A4V SOD and G37R SOD catalyzed S-nitrosoglutathione breakdown three times ...
Dominant mutations in Cu,Zn-superoxide dismutase (SOD1) cause a familial form of amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (fALS). Misfolding and aggregation of mutant SOD1 proteins are a pathological hallmark of SOD1-related fALS cases; however, the molecular mechanism of SOD1 aggregation remains controversial. Here, I have used E. coli as a model organism and shown multiple distinct pathways of SOD1 aggr...
Dying-back degeneration of motor neuron axons represents an established feature of familial amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (FALS) associated with superoxide dismutase 1 (SOD1) mutations, but axon-autonomous effects of pathogenic SOD1 remained undefined. Characteristics of motor neurons affected in FALS include abnormal kinase activation, aberrant neurofilament phosphorylation, and fast axonal tr...
More than 100 different mutations in Cu,Zn-superoxide dismutase (SOD1) are linked to a familial form of amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (fALS). Pathogenic mutations facilitate fibrillar aggregation of SOD1, upon which significant structural changes of SOD1 have been assumed; in general, however, a structure of protein aggregate remains obscure. Here, we have identified a protease-resistant core i...
