Amyloidogenic regions in beta-strands II and III modulate the aggregation and toxicity of SOD1 in living cells
2023-10-19
Abstract excerpt
Mutations in the protein superoxide dismutase-1 (SOD1) promote its misfolding and aggregation, ultimately causing familial forms of the debilitating neurodegenerative disease amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS). Currently, over 220 (mostly missense) ALS-causing mutations in the SOD1 protein have been identified throughout the primary sequence, indicating that common structural features responsible for aggregation...
