Characterization of the upstream and intron promoters of the gene encoding TAR DNA-binding protein

Abstract excerpt

TAR DNA-binding protein (TDP-43, encoded by TARDBP) is a multifunctional protein that regulates transcription and RNA metabolism by binding DNA or RNA. TDP-43 has been implicated in the pathogenesis of amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) because abnormal accumulation of cleaved and phosphorylated C-terminal fragments of TDP-43 in motor neurons is a pathological hallmark of ALS. Here, we cloned and analyzed the...
