<i>C9orf72</i> -derived poly-GA DPRs undergo endocytic uptake in iNPC-derived astrocytes and spread to motor neurons

2021-10-12

Abstract excerpt

Dipeptide repeat proteins (DPRs) are aggregation-prone polypeptides encoded by the pathogenic G4C2 repeat expansion in the C9orf72 gene, the most common genetic cause of amyotrophic lateral sclerosis and frontotemporal dementia (ALS/FTD). In this study, we focus on the role of poly-GA DPRs in disease spread. We demonstrate that recombinant poly-GA oligomers can directly convert into solid-like aggregates and form...
