Exonic DNA sequence variants in the <i>Tbk1</i> gene associate with both sporadic and familial amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS). Here, we examine functional defects in 25 missense TBK1 mutations, focusing on kinase activity and protein-protein interactions. We identified kinase domain (KD) mutations that abolish kinase activity or display substrate-specific defects in specific pathways, such as innate immunity and autophagy. By contrast, mutations in the scaffold dimerization domain (SDD) of ...[more]
