Viral expression of ALS-linked ubiquilin-2 mutants causes inclusion pathology and behavioral deficits in mice
7 Jul 2015
Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: UBQLN2 mutations have recently been associated with familial forms of amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) and ALS-dementia. UBQLN2 encodes for ubiquilin-2, a member of the ubiquitin-like protein family which facilitates delivery of ubiquitinated proteins to the proteasome for degradation. To study the potential role of ubiquilin-2 in ALS, we used recombinant adeno-associated viral (rAAV) vectors to...
