A stress-dependent TDP-43 SUMOylation program preserves neuronal function

Terry R. Suk, Caroline E. Part, Jenny L. Zhang, Trina T. Nguyen, Meghan M. Heer, Alejandro Caballero-Gómez, Veronica S. Grybas, Paul M. McKeever, Benjamin Nguyen, Tahir Ali, Steve M. Callaghan, John Woulfe, Janice Robertson, Maxime W.C. Rousseaux

This study shows that TDP-43 SUMOylation is a stress response that protects neurons, and its disruption is linked to aging and disease.
