Nov 01,  · Trans-activation response DNA-binding protein of 43 kDa (TDP-43), encoded by the gene on chromosome 1, is a major component of tau-negative and ubiquitin-positive inclusions that characterize amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS; see Glossary) and frontotemporal lobar degeneration (FTLD) linked to TDP-43 pathology (FTLD-TDP) [1].

Cytoplasmic aggregation of TAR DNA-binding protein 43 (TDP43; also known as TARDBP or TDP-43) is a key pathological feature of several neurodegenerative diseases, including amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) and frontotemporal dementia (FTD). TDP43 typically resides in the nucleus but can shuttle b

Consistently, a recent review on the controversial role of TDP-43 aggregates argues that neurotoxicity may not be due merely to TDP-43 aggregation but rather to both loss and gain-of-function processes ( Hergesheimer et al., ).

Current studies show that the pathophysiological mechanism of TDP-43 in neurodegeneration is very complex. In this review, we describe the structure of TDP-43, its main physiological

Nov 16,  · This review highlights the key physiological functions of the TDP-43 protein, while considering an expanding spectrum of neurodegenerative diseases associated with pathogenic TDP-43 deposition, and dissecting key molecular pathways through which TDP-43 may mediate neurodegeneration. INTRODUCTION

Current studies show that the pathophysiological mechanism of TDP-43 in neurodegeneration is very complex. In this review, we describe the structure of TDP-43, its main physiological functions, the possible pathogenesis and how TDP-43 provides a new pathway to treat neurodegenerative diseases. Keywords:

Dec 17,  · TDP-43 structure and effect on localization is paralleled by many RNA-binding proteins and this review serves as an example of how structure may be modulated by numerous compounding elements. Keywords: TDP-43 = TAR DNA–binding protein 43, structure, post-translational modification, subdomains, RRM domain. Go to:

Thus, unraveling the molecular mechanisms of the TDP-43 pathology seems central to the ALS therapeutics, hence, we comprehensively review the current understanding of the TDP-43's pathology in ALS. We discuss the roles of TDP-43's mutations, its cytoplasmic mis-localization and aberrant post-translational modifications in ALS.

Thus, unraveling the molecular mechanisms of the TDP-43 pathology seems central to the ALS therapeutics, hence, we comprehensively review the current understanding of the TDP-43's pathology in ALS. We discuss the roles of TDP-43's mutations, its cytoplasmic mis-localization and aberrant post-translational modifications in ALS.

Here, we review the biology and pathobiology of TDP-43 with a focus on its role in AD. We emphasize the need for studies on the mechanisms 

TDP-43 consists of an N-terminal domain (NTD) that can form homotypic interactions (orange arrow) [18,76], and which contains a nuclear localization signal (NLS) harboring two poly(ADP Ribose) (PAR)-binding motifs (red arrow) [13,22]. The NLS also engages importins, which can regulate TDP-43 condensation (purple arrow) [39].

Read a post-publication review of TDP-43 dysfunction results in R-loop accumulation and DNA replication defects on Publons. They clearly based their research question about the role of TDP-43 in regulating R-loops on previously published articles. 3) They wrote a cohesive introduction introducing the broader topic of R-loops and their role

hypothesis, which postulates that mutant TDP-43 causes neurodegeneration by a loss of function, and in addition, by exerting a dominant-negative effect on the wild-type TDP-43 allele. Furthermore, I will discuss how a loss of function can cause neurodegeneration in patients where TDP-43 is not mutated, review the literature in model

1. Introduction. Transactive response DNA-binding protein 43 (TDP-43) is a nucleic acid-binding protein that is involved in RNA processing and is essential for the development of the central nervous system [1,2].While many studies have elucidated the pivotal roles of TDP-43 in multiple cellular functions, emerging studies have also uncovered its pathological roles after it was identified as
