Herein, we present a new method for producing recombinant full-length TDP-43 filaments that exhibit sequence and morphological features similar to those of brain-derived TDP-43 filaments. We show that TDP-43 filaments contain a β-sheet-rich helical amyloid core that is fully buried by the flanking structured domains of the protein. We demonstrate that the proteolytic cleavage of TDP-43 filaments and exposure of this amyloid core are necessary for propagating TDP-43 pathology and enhancing the seeding of brain-derived TDP-43 aggregates. Only TDP-43 filaments with exposed amyloid core efficiently seeded the aggregation of endogenous TDP-43 in cells. These findings suggest that inhibiting the enzymes mediating cleavage of TDP-43 aggregates represents a viable disease-modifying strategy to slow the progression of amyotrophic lateral sclerosis and other TDP-43 proteinopathies. |
