Abstract excerpt
Matrin-3 (MATR3) is an RNA-binding protein (RBP) that is associated with familial amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) and frontotemporal dementia (FTD). MATR3 features two RNA recognition motifs, two zinc-finger motifs, and four intrinsically disordered regions. Here, we report that human MATR3 associates with itself to form nanoscale spherical assemblies at ultralow protein concentrations. Through...
