TMEM106B(120-254) T185S singlet amyloid fibril from frontotemporal lobar degeneration with TDP-43 pathology (FTLD-TDP) type B case 2 (case 7).
Structural highlights
Disease[T106B_HUMAN] Progressive non-fluent aphasia;Semantic dementia;Behavioral variant of frontotemporal dementia. The gene represented in this entry acts as a disease modifier. Risk alleles confer genetic susceptibility by increasing gene expression (PubMed:20154673, PubMed:21178100). Increased expression may be the result of down-regulation of microRNA miR-132 and miR-212, that repress TMEM106B expression (PubMed:22895706). Thr-185 is a risk allele associated with lower GRN protein levels and early age at onset in GRN UP-FTD mutation carriers: it presents slower protein degradation that leads to higher steady-state TMEM106B levels, leading to alterations in the intracellular versus extracellular partitioning of GRN (PubMed:23742080).[1] [2] [3] [4] The gene represented in this entry acts as a disease modifier. The disease may be caused by variants affecting the gene represented in this entry. Function[T106B_HUMAN] Involved in dendrite morphogenesis and maintenance by regulating lysosomal trafficking via its interaction with MAP6. May act by inhibiting retrograde transport of lysosomes along dendrites. Required for dendrite branching.[5] [6] Publication Abstract from PubMedMisfolding and aggregation of disease-specific proteins, resulting in the formation of filamentous cellular inclusions, is a hallmark of neurodegenerative disease with characteristic filament structures, or conformers, defining each proteinopathy. Here we show that a previously unsolved amyloid fibril composed of a 135 amino acid C-terminal fragment of TMEM106B is a common finding in distinct human neurodegenerative diseases, including cases characterized by abnormal aggregation of TDP-43, tau, or alpha-synuclein protein. A combination of cryoelectron microscopy and mass spectrometry was used to solve the structures of TMEM106B fibrils at a resolution of 2.7 A from postmortem human brain tissue afflicted with frontotemporal lobar degeneration with TDP-43 pathology (FTLD-TDP, n = 8), progressive supranuclear palsy (PSP, n = 2), or dementia with Lewy bodies (DLB, n = 1). The commonality of abundant amyloid fibrils composed of TMEM106B, a lysosomal/endosomal protein, to a broad range of debilitating human disorders indicates a shared fibrillization pathway that may initiate or accelerate neurodegeneration.
