Aberrant activation of non-coding RNA targets of transcriptional elongation complexes contributes to TDP-43 toxicity

TDP-43 is associated with amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) and frontotemporal lobar degeneration with ubiquitinated inclusions (FTD-TDP). Here, the authors identify the transcriptional elongation factor Ell as a strong modifier of TDP-43-mediated neurodegeneration through the Ell transcriptional...

Description
Summary:TDP-43 is associated with amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) and frontotemporal lobar degeneration with ubiquitinated inclusions (FTD-TDP). Here, the authors identify the transcriptional elongation factor Ell as a strong modifier of TDP-43-mediated neurodegeneration through the Ell transcriptional elongation complexes LEC and SEC.
