== Disease ==
[https://www.uniprot.org/uniprot/TADBP_HUMAN TADBP_HUMAN] Defects in TARDBP are the cause of amyotrophic lateral sclerosis type 10 (ALS10) [MIM:[https://omim.org/entry/612069 612069]. ALS is a neurodegenerative disorder affecting upper and lower motor neurons and resulting in fatal paralysis. Sensory abnormalities are absent. Death usually occurs within 2 to 5 years. The etiology of ALS is likely to be multifactorial, involving both genetic and environmental factors. The disease is inherited in 5-10% of the cases.<ref>PMID:20740007</ref> <ref>PMID:18288693</ref> <ref>PMID:18438952</ref> <ref>PMID:18396105</ref> <ref>PMID:18372902</ref> <ref>PMID:18309045</ref> <ref>PMID:19350673</ref> <ref>PMID:19224587</ref> <ref>PMID:19655382</ref> <ref>PMID:19695877</ref> <ref>PMID:21220647</ref> <ref>PMID:21418058</ref> <ref>PMID:22456481</ref> 
== Function ==
[https://www.uniprot.org/uniprot/TADBP_HUMAN TADBP_HUMAN] DNA and RNA-binding protein which regulates transcription and splicing. Involved in the regulation of CFTR splicing. It promotes CFTR exon 9 skipping by binding to the UG repeated motifs in the polymorphic region near the 3'-splice site of this exon. The resulting aberrant splicing is associated with pathological features typical of cystic fibrosis. May also be involved in microRNA biogenesis, apoptosis and cell division. Can repress HIV-1 transcription by binding to the HIV-1 long terminal repeat. Stabilizes the low molecular weight neurofilament (NFL) mRNA through a direct interaction with the 3' UTR.<ref>PMID:17481916</ref> <ref>PMID:11285240</ref>

== Publication Abstract from PubMed ==
TDP-43 encodes an alternative-splicing regulator with tandem RNA-recognition motifs (RRMs). The protein regulates cystic fibrosis transmembrane regulator (CFTR) exon 9 splicing through binding to long UG-rich RNA sequences and is found in cytoplasmic inclusions of several neurodegenerative diseases. We solved the solution structure of the TDP-43 RRMs in complex with UG-rich RNA. Ten nucleotides are bound by both RRMs, and six are recognized sequence specifically. Among these, a central G interacts with both RRMs and stabilizes a new tandem RRM arrangement. Mutations that eliminate recognition of this key nucleotide or crucial inter-RRM interactions disrupt RNA binding and TDP-43-dependent splicing regulation. In contrast, point mutations that affect base-specific recognition in either RRM have weaker effects. Our findings reveal not only how TDP-43 recognizes UG repeats but also how RNA binding-dependent inter-RRM interactions are crucial for TDP-43 function.
