| Research Abstract |
Using structural analyses of RNA-recognition motifs (RRM) of TDP-43, a ALS-linked protein, we identified a aberrant assembly interface in RRM1. The cysteine in the this region induced TDP-43 aggregates, cytosolic mislocalization, the incompetent RNA splicing, and cytotoxicity, which functionally and structurally mimicks TDP-43 proteinopathy. We also succeeded in cloning cDNA from murine hybridoma (3B12A), generating a monoclonal antibody recognizing the misofolded forms of TDP-43, and constructed mammalian expression plasmid for the single chain Fv (scFv). Since the commercially available transgenic mice expressing ALS-linked mutant TDP-43 (A315T) turned out to fail to replicate ALS phenotype, we newly establish the embryonic brain transfection system, using in-utero electroporation. The brain slice expressing aggregate prone mutant TDP-43 showed ALS-like TDP-43 aggregates, which could be tested to estimate the intrabody therapy.
