Journal ArticleDOI

The C9orf72 repeat expansion disrupts nucleocytoplasmic transport

TL;DR: Nuclear import is impaired as a result of HRE expression in the fly model and in C9orf72 iPSC-derived neurons, and these deficits are rescued by small molecules and antisense oligonucleotides targeting the HRE G-quadruplexes.
Journal ArticleDOI

Hrs Regulates Endosome Membrane Invagination and Tyrosine Kinase Receptor Signaling in Drosophila

TL;DR: Electron microscopy studies of hrs mutant larvae reveal an impairment in endosome membrane invagination and formation of multivesicular bodies (MVBs), and data suggest that Hrs and MVB formation function to downregulate TKR signaling.
Journal ArticleDOI

Endophilin Mutations Block Clathrin-Mediated Endocytosis but Not Neurotransmitter Release

TL;DR: It is proposed that kiss-and-run maintains neurotransmission at active zones of the larval NMJ in endophilin animals with mutant larvae that fail to take up FM1-43 dye in synaptic bouts, indicating an inability to retrieve synaptic membrane.
Journal ArticleDOI

Stress Granule Assembly Disrupts Nucleocytoplasmic Transport

TL;DR: It is demonstrated that inhibiting stress granule assembly, such as by knocking down Ataxin-2, suppresses nucleocytoplasmic transport defects as well as neurodegeneration in C9ORF72-mediated ALS/FTD.
Journal ArticleDOI

Mutant Huntingtin Disrupts the Nuclear Pore Complex

TL;DR: This work evaluated the NPC and nucleocytoplasmic transport in multiple models of HD, including mouse and fly models, neurons transfected with mHTT, HD iPSC-derived neurons, and human HD brain regions, and revealed severe mislocalization and aggregation of NUPs and defective nucleocy toplasmi transport.
