Reduced protein turnover mediates functional deficits in transgenic mice expressing the 25 kDa C-terminal fragment of TDP-43

Abstract excerpt

Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) and frontotemporal lobar degeneration (FTLD-TDP) are two neurodegenerative disorders characterized by the accumulation of TDP-43. TDP-43 is proteolitically cleaved to generate two major C-terminal fragments of 35 and 25 kDa. The latter, known as TDP-25, is a consistent feature of FTLD-TDP and ALS; however, little is known about its role in disease pathogenesis. We have...
