Cryo-EM structure of hnRNPDL-2 fibrils, a functional amyloid associated with limb-girdle muscular dystrophy D3

Nature Communications, 2023
The authors report the Cryo-EM of hnRNPDL-2 fibrils. The structure highlights features of a functional amyloid associated with limb-girdle muscular dystrophy-3 and explains how alternative splicing controls the assembly of this ribonucleoprotein.
