Research Abstract

TDP-43 has emerged as an important contributor to amyotrophic lateral sclerosis and frontotemporal lobar degeneration. Polysome profiling analysis revealed that oxidative stress caused the association of TDP-43 with stalled ribosomes via binding to mRNA. When the cells were exposed to short-term/non-lethal stress, TDP-43 associating with ribosomes localized to stress granules (SGs) and this association was transient. In contrast, when the cells were exposed to long-term/sublethal stress, TDP-43 was excluded from SGs and shifted to the heavy fractions independent of any binding to mRNA. In these severely stressed cells, TDP-43 was insolubilized and phosphorylated. In TDP-43-silenced cells, stalled mRNA and poly (A)+ RNA stability was disturbed and cytotoxicity increased under sublethal stress.
