摘要: We used cross-linking and immunoprecipitation coupled with high-throughput sequencing to identify binding sites in 6,304 genes as the brain RNA targets for TDP-43, an protein that, when mutated, causes amyotrophic lateral sclerosis. Massively parallel splicing-sensitive junction arrays revealed that levels of 601 mRNAs were changed (including Fus (Tls), progranulin other transcripts encoding neurodegenerative disease-associated proteins) 965 altered splicing events detected sortilin, receptor progranulin) following depletion TDP-43 from mouse adult antisense oligonucleotides. RNAs whose most depleted by reduction derived very long introns encode proteins involved synaptic activity. Lastly, we found autoregulates its synthesis, part directly enhancing intron 3' untranslated region own transcript, thereby triggering nonsense-mediated degradation.
