Journal ArticleDOI

Role of Axonal Transport in Neurodegenerative Diseases

TL;DR: The role of axonal transport in neurodegenerative disease is reviewed and disruption of axon transport is an early and perhaps causative event in many of these diseases.
Journal ArticleDOI

Familial amyotrophic lateral sclerosis-linked SOD1 mutants perturb fast axonal transport to reduce axonal mitochondria content

TL;DR: Time-lapse microscopy is used to monitor for the first time the effect of mutant S OD1 on fast axonal transport (FAT) of bona fide cargoes in living neurons and finds that mutant SOD1 damages transport of both mitochondria and MBOs, and that the precise details of this damage are cargo-specific.
Journal ArticleDOI

VAPB interacts with the mitochondrial protein PTPIP51 to regulate calcium homeostasis

TL;DR: It is shown that VAPB interacts with the outer mitochondrial membrane protein, protein tyrosine phosphatase-interacting protein 51 (PTPIP51), and VAPBP56S has altered binding to PTPIP 51 and increases Ca2+ uptake by mitochondria following release from ER stores.
Journal ArticleDOI

Charcot-Marie-Tooth disease neurofilament mutations disrupt neurofilament assembly and axonal transport

TL;DR: It is demonstrated that aberrant neurofilaments assembly and transport can induce neurological disease, and further implicate defective neurofilament metabolism in the pathogenesis of human neurodegenerative diseases.
