Comparing 2 hypotheses side-by-side
A9 dopaminergic neurons uniquely co-express TFEB and TFE3 at high levels, with TFE3 serving as a compensatory backup transcription factor for TFEB under lysosomal stress. In GBA1 deficiency, TFEB activation initially upregulates the CLEAR network to restore lysosomal biogenesis. However, in these neurons, this compensatory response fails because the newly synthesized LAMP2A protein cannot properly integrate into lysosomal membranes due to a concurrent defect in VPS35-mediated trafficking. The ac
## Mechanistic Overview Cell-Type Specific TFEB Modulation starts from the claim that modulating TFEB within the disease context of neurodegeneration can redirect a disease-relevant process.
