Abstract
Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) and frontotemporal dementia (FTD) are fatal neurodegenerative diseases that are related genetically and pathologically. Mutations in the UBQLN2 gene, encoding the ubiquitin-like protein ubiquilin2, are associated with familial ALS/FTD, but the pathophysiological mechanisms remain unclear. Here, we demonstrate that ALS/FTD UBQLN2 mutants P497H and P506T inhibit protein transport from the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) to the Golgi apparatus in neuronal cells. In addition, we observed that Sec31-positive ER exit sites are clustered in UBQLN2T487I patient spinal cord tissues. Both the ER–Golgi intermediate (ERGIC) compartment and the Golgi become disorganised and fragmented. This activates ER stress and inhibits ER-associated degradation. Hence, this study highlights perturbations in secretory protein trafficking and ER homeostasis as pathogenic mechanisms associated with ALS/FTD-associated forms of UBQLN2.
