Characterizing the RNA targets and position-dependent splicing regulation by TDP-43

TDP-43 is a RNA-binding protein that forms inclusion bodies in ALS. The authors show that TDP-43 preferentially binds long clusters of UG-rich sequences and that TDP-43 binding on pre-mRNAs influences alternative splicing. Many alternative mRNA isoforms regulated by TDP-43 encode proteins that regul... View More
