TDP-43 prevents retrotransposon activation in the Drosophila motor system through regulation of Dicer-2 activity
3 Jul 2020
Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Mutations in the small RNA-binding protein TDP-43 lead to the formation of insoluble cytoplasmic aggregates that have been associated with the onset and progression of amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS), a neurodegenerative disorder affecting homeostasis of the motor system which is also characterized by aberrant expression of retrotransposable elements (RTEs). Although the TDP-43 function was shown...
