Proteolytic processing of TAR DNA binding protein‐43 by caspases produces C‐terminal fragments with disease defining properties independent of progranulin
9 Jun 2009
Abstract excerpt
Neuronal and glial deposition of misfolded, proteolytically processed, polyubiquitinated and abnormally phosphorylated C-terminal fragments (CTFs) of the TAR DNA binding protein-43 (TDP-43) is a pathological hallmark of frontotemporal lobar degeneration with ubiquitin positive inclusions (FTLD-U) and certain cases of amyotrophic lateral sclerosis. We demonstrate that TDP-43 can be proteolytically processed by...
