Short RNA chaperones promote aggregation-resistant TDP-43 conformers to mitigate neurodegeneration

Katie E. Copley, Jocelyn C. Mauna, Helen L. Danielson…·James Shorter

Short UG-rich RNAs bind and stabilize TDP-43 RNA-recognition motifs to allosterically destabilize its prion-like domain helical region, preventing aggregation and mitigating neurodegeneration in cells and mice.
