A yeast model of optineurin proteinopathy reveals a unique aggregation pattern associated with cellular toxicity
19 Oct 2012
Abstract excerpt
Many neurodegenerative diseases including amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) are linked to the accumulation of specific protein aggregates in affected regions of the nervous system. SOD1, TDP-43, FUS and optineurin (OPTN) proteins were identified to form intraneuronal inclusions in ALS patients. In addition, mutations in OPTN are associated with both ALS and glaucoma. As the pathological role of OPTN in neuronal...
