Homotypic fibrillization of TMEM106B across diverse neurodegenerative diseases

ABSTRACT: Misfolding and aggregation of disease-specific proteins, resulting in the formation of filamentous cellular inclusions, is a hallmark of neurodegenerative disease with characteristic filament structures, or conformers, defining each proteinopathy. Here we show that a previously unsolved amyloid fibril comprised of a 135 amino acid C-terminal fragment of TMEM106B is a common finding in distinct human neurodegenerative diseases, including cases characterized by abnormal aggregation of TDP-43, tau, or a-synuclein protein. A combination of cryo-electron microscopy and mass spectrometry was used to solve the structures of TMEM106B fibrils at a resolution of 2.7 A from postmortem human brain tissue afflicted with frontotemporal lobar degeneration with TDP-43 pathology (FTLD-TDP, N=8), progressive supranuclear palsy (PSP, N=2), or dementia with Lewy bodies (DLB, N=1). The commonality of abundant amyloid fibrils composed of TMEM106B, a lysosomal/endosomal protein, to a broad range of debilitating human disorders indicates a shared fibrillization pathway that may initiate or accelerate neurodegeneration.

Amyloid fibrils in disease FTLD-TDP are composed of TMEM106B, rather than TDP-43

Project description:FTLD is the third most common neurodegenerative condition, following only Alzheimer's and Parkinson's diseases. FTLD typically presents in 45-64-year-olds with behavioral changes or progressive decline of language skills. The subtype FTLD-TDP is characterized by certain clinical symptoms and pathological neuronal inclusions detected by TDP-43 immunoreactivity. Here, we extracted amyloid fibrils from brains of four patients, representing four out of five FTLD-TDP subclasses and determined their near-atomic resolution structures by cryo-EM. Unexpectedly, all amyloid fibrils examined are composed of a 135-residue C-terminal fragment of TMEM106B, a lysosomal membrane protein previously implicated as a genetic risk factor for FTLD-TDP. In addition to TMEM106B fibrils, abundant non-fibrillar aggregated TDP-43 is present, as revealed by immunogold labeling. Our observations confirm that FTLD-TDP is an amyloid-involved disease and suggest that amyloid involvement in FTLD-TDP is of protein TMEM106B, rather than of TDP-43.

Location and function of TDP-43 in platelets: Alterations in neurodegenerative diseases and arising considerations for current plasma biobank protocols

Project description:The TAR DNA Binding Protein (TDP-43) has been implicated in the pathogenesis of human neurodegenerative diseases and exhibits hallmark neuropathology in amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS). Here, we explore its tractability as a plasma biomarker of disease and describe its localization and possible functions in the cytosol of platelets. Novel TDP-43 immunoassays were developed on three different technical platforms and qualified for specificity, signal-noise ratio, detection range, variation, spike recovery and dilution linearity in human plasma samples. Fractionation studies revealed that >95% of plasma TDP-43 protein [RL1] was located within the platelet cytosol, together with numerous RNAs. Platelet-derived TDP-43 exhibits TDP-43 proteoforms detected in neurodegenerative diseases, TARDBP RNA splice variants and TDP-43 RNA targets found in the central nervous system (CNS). We propose that TDP-43 serves similar functional roles in platelets and synapses, suggesting that the study of platelet TDP-43 might provide a window into TDP-43 proteinopathies within the CNS. The restricted compartmentalization of plasma TDP-43 in platelets provides a highly concentrated substrate for further biochemical analyses. Moreover, our results suggest that current plasma biobanking protocols are subject to considerable heterogeneity in platelet recovery and measurements of TDP-43 in plasma.

TAF15 amyloid filaments in neurodegenerative disease

Project description:Frontotemporal dementia (FTD) is the most common form of dementia after Alzheimer's disease and results from frontotemporal lobar degeneration (FTLD). The pathological hallmarks of FTLD are neuronal inclusions of specific, abnormally assembled proteins1. In the majority of cases, the inclusions contain amyloid filament assemblies of TAR DNA-binding protein 43 (TDP-43) or tau, with distinct filament structures characterising different FTLD subtypes2,3. The presence, identities and structures of amyloid filaments in the remaining ~10% of FTLD cases are unknown, but are widely believed to be composed of the protein fused in sarcoma (FUS). As such, these cases are commonly referred to as FTLD-FUS. Here, we used cryogenic electron microscopy (cryo-EM) to determine the structures of amyloid filaments extracted from the prefrontal and temporal cortices of four individuals with FTLD-FUS. Unexpectedly, we found abundant amyloid filaments of the FUS homologue TATA-binding protein-associated factor 15 (TAF15), rather than of FUS itself. The filament fold is formed from residues 7 to 99 in the low-complexity domain (LCD) of TAF15 and was identical between individuals. The formation of TAF15 amyloid filaments with a characteristic fold in FTLD establishes TAF15 proteinopathy in neurodegenerative disease. Furthermore, we found TAF15 filaments with the same fold in the motor cortex and brainstem of two of the individuals, who also showed changes associated with amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS), suggesting that TAF15 proteinopathy may underlie a disease spectrum of FTLD and ALS. The structure of TAF15 amyloid filaments provides a basis for the development of model systems of neurodegenerative disease, as well as for the design of diagnostic and therapeutic tools targeting TAF15 proteinopathy.

Nucleolin rescues TDP-43 toxicity in yeast and human cell models

Project description:TDP-43 is a nuclear protein involved in pivotal processes, extensively studied for its implication in neurodegenerative disorders. TDP-43 cytosolic inclusions are a common neuropathologic hallmark in amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) and related diseases, and it is now established that TDP-43 misfolding and aggregation play a key role in their etiopathology. TDP-43 neurotoxic mechanisms are not yet clariﬁed, but the identification of proteins able to modulate TDP-43-mediated damage may be promising therapeutic targets for TDP-43 proteinopathies. Here we show by the use of refined yeast models that the nucleolar protein nucleolin (NCL) acts as a potent suppressor of TDP-43 toxicity, restoring cell viability. We provide evidence that NCL co-expression is able to alleviate TDP-43-induced damage also in human cells, further supporting its beneficial effects in a more consistent pathophysiological context. Presented data suggest that NCL could promote TDP-43 nuclear retention, reducing the formation of toxic cytosolic TDP-43 aggregates.

A TDP-43 acetylation-mimic mutation that disrupts RNA-binding drives FTLD-like neurodegeneration in a mouse model of sporadic TDP-43 proteinopathy

Project description:TDP-43 proteinopathies including frontotemporal lobar dementia (FTLD) and amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) are devastating neurodegenerative disorders characterized by aggregation and mislocalization of the nucleic-acid binding protein TDP-43 and subsequent neuronal dysfunction. Here, we developed an endogenous model of sporadic TDP-43 proteinopathy based on the principle that disease-associated TDP-43 acetylation at lysine 145 (K145) alters TDP-43 conformation, impairs its RNA-binding capacity, and induces downstream mis-regulation of target genes. Expression of aberrant acetylation-mimic TDP-43K145Q resulted in stress-induced phase-separated nuclear TDP-43 foci formation and loss-of-TDP-43-function in mouse primary neurons and human induced pluripotent stem cell (iPSC)-derived neurons. Aged mice harboring the single TDP-43K145Q mutation recapitulate several key hallmarks of neurodegenerative proteinopathies, including progressive TDP-43 phosphorylation and insolubility, cytoplasmic mis-localization, widespread transcriptomic and splicing alterations, and cognitive dysfunction. Our study supports a model in which aberrant TDP-43 acetylation drives neuronal dysfunction and cognitive decline through alternative splicing and transcription of genes important in synaptic plasticity and apoptosis, providing a new paradigm to interrogate FTLD disease mechanisms and uncover disease-modifying therapeutics.

Mitigating a TDP-43 proteinopathy by targeting ataxin-2 using RNA-targeting CRISPR effector proteins

Project description:The TDP-43 proteinopathies, which include amyotrophic lateral sclerosis and frontotemporal dementia, are a devastating group of neurodegenerative disorders that are characterized by the mislocalization and aggregation of TDP-43. Here we demonstrate that RNA-targeting CRISPR effector proteins, a programmable class of gene silencing agents that includes the Cas13 family of enzymes and Cas7-11, can be used to mitigate TDP-43 pathology when programmed to target ataxin-2, a modifier of TDP-43-associated toxicity. In addition to inhibiting the aggregation and transit of TDP-43 to stress granules, we find that the in vivo delivery of an ataxin-2-targeting Cas13 system to a mouse model of TDP-43 proteinopathy improved functional deficits, extended survival, and reduced the severity of neuropathological hallmarks. Further, we benchmark RNA-targeting CRISPR platforms against ataxin-2 and find that high-fidelity forms of Cas13 possess improved transcriptome-wide specificity compared to Cas7-11 and a first-generation effector. Our results demonstrate the potential of CRISPR technology for TDP-43 proteinopathies.

Polystyrene nanoparticles trigger aberrant condensation of TDP-43 and amyotrophic lateral sclerosis-like symptoms

Project description:Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) is a neurodegenerative disease characterized by the dysfunction and progressive death of cerebral and spinal motor neurons. Preliminary epidemiological research has hinted at a relationship between environmental risks and the escalation of ALS, but the underlying reasons remain mostly mysterious. Here, we show that nano-size polystyrene plastics (PS) induce ALS-like symptoms and illustrate the related molecular mechanism. When exposed to PS, cells endure internal oxidative stress, which leads to the aggregation of TAR DNA-binding protein 43 kDa (TDP-43), triggering ALS-like characteristics. Additionally, the oxidized heat shock protein 70 fails to escort TDP-43 back to the nucleus. The cytoplasmic accumulation of TDP-43 facilitates the formation of a complex between PS and TDP-43, enhancing TDP-43’s condensation and solidification. These findings are corroborated through in silico and in vivo assays. Altogether, our work illustrates a unique toxicological mechanism induced by nanoparticles and provides insights into the connection between environmental pollution and neurodegenerative disorders.
