Sumoylation regulates the assembly and activity of the SMN complex

Nature Communications, 2021
Sumoylation is important for the assembly and function of the SMN complex, which plays a central role in RNA processing. Here the authors show that loss of this posttranslational modification impairs the ability of SMN to correct selective deficits in ...

Redox dysregulation as a driver for DNA damage and its relationship to neurodegenerative diseases

Translational Neurodegeneration, 2023
Redox homeostasis refers to the balance between the production of reactive oxygen species (ROS) as well as reactive nitrogen species (RNS), and their elimination by antioxidants. It is linked to all important cellular activities and oxidative stress is a

The lower motor neuron homunculus [PDF]

, 2022
Penfield’s motor homunculus anthropomorphizes the cerebral level of motor control, the upper motor neuron. However, it leaves the cranial and spinal motor neurons unrepresented.

ALS/FTD-associated mutation in cyclin F inhibits ER-Golgi trafficking, inducing ER stress, ERAD and Golgi fragmentation

Scientific Reports, 2023
Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) is a severely debilitating neurodegenerative condition that is part of the same disease spectrum as frontotemporal dementia (FTD).

Opinion: more mouse models and more translation needed for ALS

Molecular Neurodegeneration, 2023
Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis is a complex disorder most of which is ‘sporadic’ of unknown origin but approximately 10% is familial, arising from single mutations in any of more than 30 genes.

C9orf72-ALS human iPSC microglia are pro-inflammatory and toxic to co-cultured motor neurons via MMP9

Nature Communications, 2023
Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) is a neurodegenerative disease characterized by progressive motor neuron loss, with additional pathophysiological involvement of non-neuronal cells such as microglia.

FUS-SMN Protein Interactions Link the Motor Neuron Diseases ALS and SMA [PDF]

, 2012
Mutations in the RNA binding protein FUS cause amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS), a fatal adult motor neuron disease. Decreased expression of SMN causes the fatal childhood motor neuron disorder spinal muscular atrophy (SMA).
