Abstract excerpt
Various neurological dysfunctions are associated with cytotoxic amyloid-containing aggregates formed through the irreversible maturation of protein condensates generated by phase separation. Here, we investigate the amino acid code for this cytotoxicity using TDP-43 deep-sequencing data. Within the droplet landscape framework, we analyze the impact of mutations in the amyloid core, aggregation hot-spot, and...
