Impaired neurodevelopment by the low complexity domain of CPEB4 reveals a convergent pathway with neurodegeneration
6 Jul 2016
Abstract excerpt
CPEB4 is an RNA binding protein expressed in neuronal tissues including brain and spinal cord. CPEB4 has two domains: one that is structured for RNA binding and one that is unstructured and low complexity that has no known function. Unstructured low complexity domains (LCDs) in proteins are often found in RNA-binding proteins and have been implicated in motor neuron degenerative diseases such as amyotrophic...
