A yeast model of the ALS protein Matrin3 uncovers Hsp90 and its co-chaperone Sti1 as modifiers of misfolding and toxicity
2021-08-24
Abstract excerpt
The MATR3 gene encoding the protein Matrin3 is implicated in the pathogenesis of the neurodegenerative disease amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS). Matrin3 forms neuronal cytoplasmic and nuclear inclusions in ALS-affected neurons. Additionally, 13 heterozygous missense mutations in MATR3 are identified in ALS patients. To further explore Matrin3 misfolding and toxicity, we established and characterized a yeast mod...
