RBM45 (RNA Binding Motif Protein 45) is a predominantly neuronal RNA-binding protein that undergoes ALS-associated disease modifications (phosphorylation, oxidative modification) that alter its liquid-liquid phase separation (LLPS) behavior. This hypothesis proposes that in ALS motor neurons, modified RBM45 forms aberrant, stable condensates that dominate RNA processing droplets (nuclear speckles, stress granules), displacing essential granule components (SFPQ, TDP-43, hnRNP A1) into a pathologi
This hypothesis proposes that TBK1 loss-of-function mutations drive ALS pathogenesis through a two-step mechanism: first, TBK1-deficient microglia adopt a senescent state and release SASP factors (TNF-α, IL-1β, type I interferons) that act as paracrine stressors on motor neurons; second, these inflammatory signals chronically activate the Integrated Stress Response (ISR) in motor neurons, leading to pathological eIF2α phosphorylation and catastrophic repression of axonal protein synthesis.
