Abstract excerpt
To investigate the molecular mechanism of mutant Cu/Zn superoxide dismutase (SOD) associated with familial amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (FALS), mutant (A1a4Thr, Gly85Arg, Gly93Ala, and two base-pair deletion in the 126th codon), as well as wild-type (wt), Cu/Zn SODs were expressed in COS7 cells. The formation of granular cytoplasmic aggregates accompanied by collapse of the cytoplasm was observed in cells...
