Interactome screening ofC9orf72dipeptide repeats reveals VCP sequestration and functional impairment by polyGA
11 Aug 2021
Abstract excerpt
Repeat expansions in the C9orf72 gene are a common cause of amyotrophic lateral sclerosis and frontotemporal lobar degeneration, two devastating neurodegenerative disorders. One of the proposed mechanisms of GGGGCC repeat expansion is their translation into non-canonical dipeptide repeats, which can then accumulate as aggregates and contribute to these pathologies. There are five different dipeptide repeat...
