Characterization of a Phosphomimetic Mutant of the ALS Associated Protein TDP-43
<p>Trans-activation response (TAR) DNA-binding protein 43 (TDP-43) is a natively dimeric 414-residue protein that is encoded by the human <em>TARDBP</em> gene that has important implications in the pathogenesis of the neurodegenerative disorders ALS, FTD, and CTE. TDP-43 has been found …

Characterization of Codon Optimized Wild Type TDP-43 Mediated Neurodegeneration in a Drosophila Model for ALS.
TAR DNA Binding Protein-43 (TDP-43) is known to mediate neurodegeneration associated with amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) and frontotemporal lobar degeneration-ubiquitin (FTLD-U). The exact mechanism by which TDP-43 exerts toxicity in patient brains remains unclear. In a Drosophila model, we …

Old-age hippocampal sclerosis in the aged population
… it has been associated with both ischaemia and TAR-DNA-binding protein-43 (TDP-43)-related neurodegeneration. Variations in genes GRN, TMEM106B and ABCC9 are proposed as HS risk factors. The aim of this thesis was to investigate epidemiological, clinical, pathological and genetic characteristics …

Characterization of the Dimerization and Salt Dependent Aggregation of the ALS-Linked Protein TDP-43
<p>Trans-active response (TAR) DNA-binding protein 43 (TDP-43) is essential for RNA processing but can also form toxic cytoplasmic inclusions in neurons of patients with amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) and frontotemporal lobar degeneration (FTLD). RNA-binding has been shown to have the …

Identification and characterization of a pathological TDP-43 variant in amyotrophic lateral sclerosis and frontotemporal lobar degeneration
TAR DNA-binding protein 43 (TDP-43) proteinopathy is a key pathological feature of a majority of amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) and frontotemporal lobar degeneration (FTLD) cases. One key feature of pathological TDP-43 is the presence of lower molecular weight (MW) C-terminal species of 25 and …

AGGREGATION MECHANISMS OF TDP-43 PROTEIN IN RESPONSE TO STRESS IN AMYOTROPHIC LATERAL SCLEROSIS AND THERAPEUTIC APPROACHES
… present in 97% of ALS cases, consists in TDP- 43 proteinopathy characterized by the accumulation of ubiquitinated and phosphorylated TAR DNA-binding protein 43 (TDP-43) in the cytoplasm, accompanied by the concomitant loss of TDP-43 splicing activity in the nucleus of affected neurons. The …
