Abstract excerpt
TAR DNA-binding protein 43 kDa (TDP-43), a nuclear protein, plays an important role in the molecular pathogenesis of amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS). The long-disordered C-terminal region (CTR) of TDP-43 is known to be aggregation-prone and a hotspot for ALS mutations, so elucidation of the physiological function of CTR will provide insights into the pathogenesis of ALS. The CTR has two Gly, aromatic, and...
