[false1] Mutations in the prion-like domain of C9orf72 that cause familial ALS increase its propensity to form insoluble protein aggregates. [false2] Ribonucleoprotein granules always contain mRNA. [true1] Ribonucleoprotein granules are dynamic structures that primarily form by liquid-liquid phase separation. [true2]
In 2015 а mоdifier screen using the fly eye leаd tо а new discоvery about a cellular mechanism involved in C9orf72 ALS/FTD. Researchers modeled C9orf72 ALS/FTD by expressing (G4C2)30 in the fly eye. 1) Which statement below best summarizes the results of the modifier screen? [C] A. Over-expression of an RNAi against RanGap was a suppressor. B. Over-expression of an RNAi against RanGap was an enhancer. C. Over-expression of RanGap was a suppressor. D. Over-expression of RanGap was an enhancer. E. A knock-out mutation in RanGap was a suppressor. F. A knock-out mutation in RanGap was an enhancer. 2) Which statement is the best conclusion from the above result? [D] A. Dipeptide repeat proteins that arise from a microsatellite expansion in C9orf72 are toxic. B. A microsatellite expansion in C9orf72 disrupts stress granule formation. C. In ALS, proteins with prion-like domains that should undergo reversible liquid-liquid phase separation instead form insoluble aggregates. D. A microsatellite expansion in C9orf72 disrupts nucleocytoplasmic transport. E. A microsatellite expansion in C9orf72 disrupts TDP-43 localization.
