Abstract:
A monoclonal antibody specific for phosphoserines 409 and 410 of TDP-43 (mAb pS409/410) has been produced. It strongly stained TDP-43-positive inclusions in brain of patients with frontotemporal lobar degeneration and amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, but did not stain nuclei, in which normal TDP-43 is localized. It did not recognize TDP-43 rapidly extracted from brains of rats at various developmental stages, strongly suggesting that phosphorylation of Ser409/410 is an abnormal event. Analysis of postmortem changes of TDP-43 revealed that the amounts of Sarkosyl-insoluble, urea-soluble full-length TDP-43 and a 35kDa N-terminal fragment increased time-dependently.

Aspartate transcarbamoylase (ATCase) is a cytosolic enzyme that catalyzes the condensation of L-aspartate and carbamoyl phosphate to N-carbamoyl-L-aspartate. This reaction is the first step in pyrimidine biosynthesis. UTP and CTP, the end products of the pyrimidine synthesis pathway,...
