TDP-43 dysregulation of polyadenylation site selection is a defining feature of RNA misprocessing in amyotrophic lateral sclerosis and frontotemporal dementia

Abstract excerpt

Nuclear clearance and cytoplasmic aggregation of TAR DNA-binding protein 43 (TDP-43) are observed in many neurodegenerative disorders, including amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) and frontotemporal dementia (FTD). Although TDP-43 dysregulation of splicing has emerged as a key event in these diseases, TDP-43 can also regulate polyadenylation; yet this has not been adequately studied. Here, we applied the dynamic...
