Abstract excerpt
The ubiquitin-adaptor protein UBQLN2 promotes degradation of several aggregate-prone proteins implicated in neurodegenerative diseases. Missense UBQLN2 mutations also cause X-linked amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) and frontotemporal dementia (FTD). Previously we demonstrated that the liquid-like properties of UBQLN2 molecular assemblies are altered by a specific pathogenic mutation, P506T, and that the...
