Ile35 residue of SOD1 plays a key role in aggregate formation and eye degeneration in a Drosophila model of ALS
{middle dot}The pathophysiology of ALS caused by mutant SOD1 remains unclear. {middle dot}We previously demonstrated, using the BioID2-EGFP sandwich expression system in cultured cells, that the Ile35 residue of ALS-linked mutant SOD1 promotes its aggregate formation. {middle dot}However, the precise role of the SOD1 Ile35 residue in aggregate formation and neurodegeneration in vivo remained…
