Open Access: A Role for p53 in c9ALS/FTD?
2021
Poly(PR), a toxic dipeptide-repeat protein, translated from the pathogenic G4C2 repeat expansion in C9orf72, contributes to c9 amyotrophic lateral sclerosis/frontotemporal dementia (c9ALS/FTD). However, precisely how poly(PR) elicits neurodegeneration has remained unclear. Maor-Nof et al. now establish that poly(PR) remodels the neuronal epigenome to promote proapoptotic p53 activity involving PUMA, which drives neurodegeneration in several models.
