Abstract excerpt
Mutations in the superoxide dismutase 1 (sod1) gene cause familial amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (FALS), likely due to the toxic properties of misfolded mutant SOD1 protein. Here we report identification of various synaptic molecules forming molecular complexes with misfolded SOD1 in mutant SOD1-associated FALS patient tissues as well as in cellular FALS models. In the FALS cellular model system, we found that...
