Liquid-liquid phase separation (LLPS) of RNA binding proteins underlies the formation of multiple membraneless organelles involved in RNA metabolism, including stress granules. Defects in stress granule homeostasis constitute a corner stone of ALS/FTLD pathogenesis. Phase separation of ALS-linked st...
Repeat expansions in the C9orf72 gene are a common cause of amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) and frontotemporal lobar degeneration (FTLD), two devastating neurodegenerative disorders. One of the proposed mechanisms of GGGGCC repeat expansion is their translation to produce unnatural dipeptide rep...
