TL;DR

Proteomic analysis of induced human motor neurons revealed a markedly enhanced association between ΔE and exportin 1 (XPO1), a major nuclear export receptor, and an abnormally enhanced interaction between mutant TorsinA and exportin 1 (XPO1), a protein that transports cargo from the nucleus.

Parkinson’s disease-linked D620N mutation selectively alters the brain-specific protein interactome of VPS35

A comprehensive evaluation of the VPS35 protein interactome is provided and a selective effect of the PD-linked D620N mutation in mammalian cells and brain is revealed, providing key insight into the mechanisms of retromer dysfunction in VPS35-linked PD.

The dystonia-associated Torsin1A sustains CLCC1 function in membrane fusion of the nuclear envelope for NPC biogenesis.

The conserved membrane protein Chloride Channel CLIC-like protein 1 (CLCC1) is identified as a Torsin1A interaction partner whose absence phenocopies membrane fusion defects caused by Torsin deletion inform a model of nuclear envelope membrane fusion and imply that modulating CLCC1 expression is a promising therapeutic...

The SMYD1 p.Asn101Ser is a partial loss-of-function variant that impairs mitochondrial function and leads to early-onset cardiomyopathy

The first functional characterization of the cardiomyopathy-associated SMYD1 N101S variant identified in a child with severe infantile cardiomyopathy is provided, establishing a mechanistic link between SMYD1 dysfunction and infantile cardiomyopathy and highlighting the importance of integrating genomic and functional...

The ALS/FTD-linked protein CHCHD10 associates with the TDP-43 C-terminal domain through a CHCH–helix interface

A CHCH–helix interface is defined that couples homo- and heterotypic assembly equilibria and support an asymmetric interface-buffering model in which CHCHD10 can divert TDP-43CTD from self-association while increasing its own availability for recruitment into sedimentable assemblies.

TTC14 dysfunction contributing to microcephaly and lissencephaly spectrum features through protein mislocalization and impaired RNA processing

Tetratricopeptide Repeat Domain 14 plays a crucial role in RNA metabolism during neurodevelopment, and that the p.His30Arg variant impairs its function, possibly leading to a neurodevelopmental disorder within the lissencephaly spectrum.
