2 Figure 1 Ubiquitinated TDP-43 Inclusions in the Neuronal Cytoplasm and Nucleus Are the Pathological Hallmark of ALS and FTLD-U Defective clearance of TDP-43 aggregates can arise due to mutation in three genes: TARDBP mutation may increase cytoplasmic levels of TDP-43 and promote aggregation, PGRN mutations inhibit maturation of the autophagosome, while VCP mutations inhibit TDP-43 degradation by the autophagy and proteasomal pathways. The common pathology and clinical phenotype of ALS and FTLD-U clearly implicates TDP-43 misaccumulation in their pathogenesis. Neuron  , DOI: ( /j.neuron ) Copyright © 2010 Elsevier Inc.
