Sigma-1 receptor chaperones rescue nucleocytoplasmic transport deficit seen in cellular and Drosophila ALS/FTD models

The (G4C2)-RNA hexanucleotide repeat expansion upstream of the start codon of the C9orf72 gene plays a critical role in familial ALS. The authors show that Sig1R, a ligand-regulated molecular chaperone, counteracts the aberrant nucleocytoplasmic distribution of Ran caused by the (G4C2)-RNA repeats.
