Molecular pathways of motor neuron injury in amyotrophic lateral sclerosis
Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) is a genetically diverse disease. At least 15 ALS-associated gene loci have so far been identified, and the causative gene is known in approximately 30% of… Expand

Neurofilament heavy chain side arm phosphorylation regulates axonal transport of neurofilaments
Neurofilaments possess side arms that comprise the carboxy-terminal domains of neurofilament middle and heavy chains (NFM and NFH); that of NFH is heavily phosphorylated in axons. Here, we… Expand

The C9orf72 protein interacts with Rab1a and the ULK1 complex to regulate initiation of autophagy
A GGGGCC hexanucleotide repeat expansion in the C9orf72 gene is the most common genetic cause of amyotrophic lateral sclerosis and frontotemporal dementia (C9ALS/FTD). C9orf72 encodes two C9orf72… Expand

Direct evidence for axonal transport defects in a novel mouse model of mutant spastin‐induced hereditary spastic paraplegia (HSP) and human HSP patients
Mutations in spastin are the most common cause of hereditary spastic paraplegia (HSP) but the mechanisms by which mutant spastin induces disease are not clear. Spastin functions to regulate… Expand

Mutations in CHMP2B in Lower Motor Neuron Predominant Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS)
Background Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS), a common late-onset neurodegenerative disease, is associated with fronto-temporal dementia (FTD) in 3–10% of patients. A mutation in CHMP2B was… Expand

Role of axonal transport in neurodegenerative diseases.
Many major human neurodegenerative diseases, including Alzheimer's disease, Parkinson's disease, and amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS), display axonal pathologies including abnormal accumulations… Expand

Charcot-Marie-Tooth disease neurofilament mutations disrupt neurofilament assembly and axonal transport.
Charcot-Marie-Tooth disease (CMT) is the most common inherited disorder of the peripheral nervous system, and mutations in neurofilaments have been linked to some forms of CMT. Neurofilaments are the… Expand

Mitochondrial Function and Actin Regulate Dynamin-Related Protein 1-Dependent Mitochondrial Fission
Mitochondria display a variety of shapes, ranging from small and spherical or the classical tubular shape to extended networks. Shape transitions occur frequently and include fusion, fission, and… Expand

Glutamate Slows Axonal Transport of Neurofilaments in Transfected Neurons
Neurofilaments are transported through axons by slow axonal transport. Abnormal accumulations of neurofilaments are seen in several neurodegenerative diseases, and this suggests that neurofilament… Expand
