RNA and Protein Interactors with TDP-43 in Human Spinal-Cord Lysates in Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis.

Abstract excerpt

The TAR DNA-binding protein of 43 kDa (TDP-43) is a dual function RNA- and DNA-binding protein with varied cellular functions. In degenerating motor neurons in amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS), TDP-43 relocalizes from the nucleus to the cytosol, where it is sequestered into inclusions. It is likely that the pathogenic role of TDP-43 in ALS can involve either a gain or a loss of function, depending on the...
