Solution structure of TDP-43 N-terminal domain dimer. TDP-43 is an RNA-binding protein active in splicing that concentrates into membraneless ribonucleoprotein granules and forms aggregates in amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) and Alzheimer's disease.
Learn MoreTAR DNA-binding protein of 43 kDa (TDP-43) is an essential RNA-binding protein, self-assembles into prion-like aggregates, and is known to be the structural
Learn More03/02/2022 · Scientists analyzed aggregated TDP-43 extracted from the donated brains of two ALS patients with FTD. Using a technique called cryo-electron microscopy, they deduced the structure of the aggregates with a resolution of up to 2.6 angstroms. One angstrom is equal to one hundred-millionth of a centimeter.
Learn MoreTDP-43 is an RNA-binding protein active in splicing that concentrates into membraneless ribonucleoprotein granules and forms aggregates in amyotrophic
Learn MoreTDP-43 is composed of a well folded N-terminal domain (NTD), two highly conserved RNA recognition motifs (RRM1 and RRM2), and a glycine-rich C-
Learn MoreHigh-resolution electron cryo-microscopy structure of pathological TDP-43 filaments from amyotrophic lateral sclerosis with frontotemporal lobar
Learn MoreTar DNA binding protein (TDP)-43 is a nucleic acid binding protein consisting of three domains, a folded N-terminal domain, two RNA Recognition
Learn MoreThe ordered filament core spans residues 282-360 in the TDP-43 low-complexity domain and adopts a previously undescribed double-spiral-shaped
Learn MoreTDP-43 was reported to be a major component of the ubiquitin-positive inclusion bodies observed in the brains of patients with FTLD and ALS [14,
Learn More08/12/ · The determination of the structure of aggregated TDP-43 and how it differs from amyloid filaments in other neurodegenerative diseases provides a possible explanation for the poor efficacy of current diagnostic approaches, which rely on tracer compounds developed to bind to amyloid filaments. Importantly, in showing that a single TDP-43 filament
Learn MoreTDP-43 is a primarily nuclear RNA-binding protein, whose abnormal phosphorylation and cytoplasmic aggregation characterizes affected neurons
