Abstract excerpt
TDP-43 is a major pathological protein in sporadic and familial amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) and mediates mRNA fate. TDP-43 dysfunction leads to causes progressive degeneration of motor neurons, the details of which remain elusive. Elucidation of the molecular mechanisms of RNA binding could enhance our understanding of this devastating disease. We observed the involvement of the glycine-rich (GR) region...
