Abstract excerpt
Aggregation of Cu/Zn superoxide dismutase (SOD1) is a hallmark of a subset of familial amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) cases. The expression of wild-type SOD1 [SOD(hWT)] surprisingly exacerbates the phenotype of mutant SOD1 in vivo. Here we studied whether SOD1(hWT) may affect mutant SOD1 aggregation by employing fluorescence microscopy techniques combined with lifetime-based Förster resonance energy transfer...
