Ribosome profiling reveals novel regulation of C9ORF72 GGGGCC repeat-containing RNA translation
30 Nov 2021
Abstract excerpt
GGGGCC (G 4 C 2 ) repeat expansion in the first intron of C9ORF72 causes amyotrophic lateral sclerosis and frontotemporal dementia. Repeat-containing RNA is translated into dipeptide repeat (DPR) proteins, some of which are neurotoxic. Using dynamic ribosome profiling, we identified three translation initiation sites in the intron upstream of ( G 4 C 2 ) repeats; these sites are detected irrespective of the...
