Molecular basis of C9orf72 poly-PR interference with the β-karyopherin family of nuclear transport receptors

Abstract Nucleocytoplasmic transport (NCT) is affected in several neurodegenerative diseases including C9orf72-ALS. It has recently been found that arginine-containing dipeptide repeat proteins (R-DPRs), translated from C9orf72 repeat expansions, directly bind to several importins. To gain insight i...
