The mutational landscape of a prion-like domain
TDP43 aggregates are a hallmark of amyotrophic lateral sclerosis. By using deep mutagenesis to measure the toxicity of more than 50,000 mutations in the prion domain of TDP43, the authors conclude that mutations that increase toxicity promote formation of liquid-like condensates, while aggregation o...
