Abstract

Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis and several other neurodegenerative diseases are associated with brain deposits of TDP-43 aggregates. Cryo-EM structure of amyloid formed from the entire TDP-43 low complexity domain reveals single protofilament fibrils containing a large (138-residue), tightly packed core with structural features that differ from those previously found for fibrils formed from short protein fragments. The atomic model provides insight into potential structural perturbations caused by phosphorylation and disease-related mutations.
