Abstract excerpt
TDP43 inclusion bodies are widely present in the majority of patients with familial and sporadic amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS). The mechanisms regulating TDP43 solubility remain incompletely understood. Here, we report that TDP43 undergoes S-acylation primarily at the Cys244 residue by the S-acyltransferase zDHHC23. This S-acylation maintains the liquid-like properties of TDP43 by reducing the aberrant...
