摘要: Length-dependent axonopathy of the corticospinal tract causes lower limb spasticity and is characteristic several neurological disorders, including hereditary spastic paraplegia (HSP) amyotrophic lateral sclerosis. Mutations in Trk-fused gene (TFG) have been implicated both diseases, but pathomechanisms by which these alterations cause neuropathy remain unclear. Here, we biochemically genetically define impact a mutation within TFG coiled-coil domain, underlies early-onset forms HSP. We find that (p.R106C) alters compaction ring complexes, which play critical role export cargoes from endoplasmic reticulum (ER). Using CRISPR-mediated genome editing, engineered human stem cells express mutant form at endogenous levels identified specific defects secretion ER axon fasciculation following neuronal differentiation. Together, our data highlight key for TFG-mediated protein transport pathogenesis
