Abstract excerpt
The ubiquitin-binding proteasomal shuttle protein UBQLN2 is implicated in common neurodegenerative disorders due to its accumulation in disease-specific aggregates and, when mutated, directly causes familial frontotemporal dementia/amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (FTD/ALS). Like other proteins linked to FTD/ALS, UBQLN2 undergoes phase separation to form condensates. The relationship of UBQLN2 phase separation and...
