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). 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. Publication Abstract from PubMed Frontotemporal lobar degeneration (FTLD) is the third most common neurodegenerative condition, following only Alzheimer's and Parkinson's diseases(1). FTLD typically presents in 45-64-year-olds with behavioral changes or progressive decline of language skills(2). The subtype FTLD-TDP is characterized by certain clinical symptoms and pathological neuronal inclusions detected by TAR DNA-binding protein (TDP-43) immunoreactivity(3). Here, we extracted amyloid fibrils from brains of four patients, representing four out of five FTLD-TDP subclasses and determined their near-atomic resolution structures by cryogenic electron-microscopy (cryo-EM). Unexpectedly, all amyloid fibrils examined are composed of a 135-residue C-terminal fragment of transmembrane protein 106B (TMEM106B), a lysosomal membrane protein previously implicated as a genetic risk factor for FTLD-TDP(4). In addition to TMEM106B fibrils, abundant non-fibrillar aggregated TDP-43 is present, as revealed by immunogold labeling. Our observations confirm that FTLD-TDP is an amyloid-involved disease and suggest that amyloid involvement in FTLD-TDP is of protein TMEM106B, rather than of TDP-43. Amyloid fibrils in disease FTLD-TDP are composed of TMEM106B not TDP-43.,Jiang YX, Cao Q, Sawaya MR, Abskharon R, Ge P, DeTure M, Dickson DW, Fu JY, Ogorzalek Loo RR, Loo JA, Eisenberg DS Nature. 2022 Mar 28. pii: 10.1038/s41586-022-04670-9. doi:, 10.1038/s41586-022-04670-9.
