although tdp-43 was originally described to harbor transcription repressor activity ( 12 ), the functions of tdp-43 has since been expanded to include a wide range of biological processes ( 7, 13 - 15 ), including biogenesis and processing of coding and noncoding rnas ( 7, 13 - 15 ), mrna transport ( 16 ), translation ( 17, 18 ), mitochondrial

TDP-43 aggregation and redistribution have been recognised as a hallmark of amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, frontotemporal dementia and other neurological disorders. While TDP-43 has been studied extensively in neuronal tissues, TDP-43 inclusions have also been described in the muscle of inclusion body myositis patients, highlighting the need to understand the role of TDP-43 beyond the central

TDP-43 is abundantly expressed by all Sox10-positive Schwann cells (Figure 1A, Figure 1—figure supplement 1A, B).To elucidate the PNS-autonomous function of TDP-43, we specifically ablated TDP-43 from Schwann cells by combining the TDP-43 conditional allele (Tardbp fl/fl) (Chiang et al., ) with Dhh-Cre (Jaegle et al., 2003).In these conditional knockout (cKO) mice, TDP-43 expression is

Our results show that a similar phenotypic outcome results from increased inclusion of Sort1 exon 17b caused by abnormal TDP-43 function, leading to production of a soluble form of Sortilin that diverts trafficking of proBDNF away from the regulated secretory pathway, thereby impairing activity-dependent BDNF secretion. A disease-associated

These results suggest that functions associated with RRM-1, such as (UG)n RNA binding, confer TDP-43 mobility in the nucleus. The function of RRM-2 remains

TDP-43 is a protein that regulates gene expression. TDP-43 aggregation and depletion from cell nucleus are found in ALS. Therefore, TDP-43 may cause neurodegeneration by generating toxicity from its aggregation or by a loss of its function. Our experiments test the consequence of a partial loss of TDP-43 function in mice.

Transactive response DNA binding protein 43 (TDP-43) is a DNA/RNA binding protein involved in transcriptional regulation and RNA processing. It is linked.

In one model, TDP-43 or FUS fALS mutations promote deviant protein activities that are toxic to neurons by mechanisms independent of the protein's normal function . In an opposing model, TDP-43 and FUS cooperate in activities that are critical for the long-term survival of specific neuronal subtypes, and mutations in either protein disrupt

Functions of TDP-43. TDP-43 performs several mRNA-related processes in the nucleus, such as transcription, splicing, maintaining RNA stability as well as miRNA and lncRNA processing. It is predominantly a nuclear protein but also shuttles between the nucleus and the cytoplasm.
