Short RNA chaperones promote aggregation-resistant TDP-43 conformers to mitigate neurodegeneration
2024-12-15
Abstract excerpt
Aberrant aggregation of the prion-like, RNA-binding protein TDP-43 underlies several debilitating neurodegenerative proteinopathies, including amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS). Here, we define how short, specific RNAs antagonize TDP-43 aggregation. Short, specific RNAs engage and stabilize the TDP-43 RNA-recognition motifs, which allosterically destabilizes a conserved helical region in the prion-like domain, t...
