Abstract

Mutation in Cu/Zn-superoxide dismutase ( SOD1 ) is a cause of familial amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS). Mutant SOD1 protein (SOD1 mut ) induces motor neuron death, although the molecular mechanism of SOD1 mut -induced cell death remains controversial. Here we show that SOD1 mut specifically interacted with Derlin-1, a component of endoplasmic reticulum (ER)-associated degradation (ERAD) machinery and triggered ER stress through dysfunction of ERAD. SOD1 mut -induced ER stress activated the apoptosis signal-regulating kinase 1 (ASK1)-dependent cell death pathway. Perturbation of binding between SOD1 mut and Derlin-1 by Derlin-1-derived oligopeptide suppressed SOD1 mut -induced ER stress, ASK1 activation, and motor neuron death. Moreover, deletion of ASK1 mitigated the motor neuron loss and extended the life span of SOD1 mut transgenic mice. These findings demonstrate that ER stress-induced ASK1 activation, which is triggered by the specific interaction of Derlin-1 with SOD1 mut , is crucial for disease progression of familial ALS.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
