<i>C9ORF72</i> dipeptide repeat proteins disrupt formation of GEM bodies and induce aberrant accumulation of survival of motor neuron protein
2021-03-25
Abstract excerpt
A GGGGCC repeat expansion in the C9ORF72 gene is the most common genetic cause of amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS), a devastating motor neuron disease. In the neurons of ALS patients, dipeptide repeat proteins (DPRs) are produced from repeat-containing RNAs by an unconventional form of translation, and some of these proteins, especially those containing poly(glycine-arginine) and poly(proline-arginine), are to...
