Citation | Journal: Nat Commun / Year: 2024Title: Cryo-EM observation of the amyloid key structure of polymorphic TDP-43 amyloid fibrils. Authors: Kartikay Sharma / Fabian Stockert / Jayakrishna Shenoy / Mélanie Berbon / Muhammed Bilal Abdul-Shukkoor / Birgit Habenstein / Antoine Loquet / Matthias Schmidt / Marcus Fändrich / ![]() Abstract: The transactive response DNA-binding protein-43 (TDP-43) is a multi-facet protein involved in phase separation, RNA-binding, and alternative splicing. In the context of neurodegenerative diseases, ...The transactive response DNA-binding protein-43 (TDP-43) is a multi-facet protein involved in phase separation, RNA-binding, and alternative splicing. In the context of neurodegenerative diseases, abnormal aggregation of TDP-43 has been linked to amyotrophic lateral sclerosis and frontotemporal lobar degeneration through the aggregation of its C-terminal domain. Here, we report a cryo-electron microscopy (cryo-EM)-based structural characterization of TDP-43 fibrils obtained from the full-length protein. We find that the fibrils are polymorphic and contain three different amyloid structures. The structures differ in the number and relative orientation of the protofilaments, although they share a similar fold containing an amyloid key motif. The observed fibril structures differ from previously described conformations of TDP-43 fibrils and help to better understand the structural landscape of the amyloid fibril structures derived from this protein. | ||||||
