We report phosphorylated and ubiquitinated aggregates of TAR DNA binding protein of 43 kDa (TDP-43) in SH-SY5Y cells similar to those in brains of amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) and frontotemporal lobar degeneration with ubiquitinated inclusions (FTLD-U). Two candidate sequences for the nuclear localization signal were examined. Deletion of residues 78-84 resulted in cytoplasmic localization of TDP-43, whereas the mutant lacking residues 187-192 localized in nuclei, forming unique dot-like structures. Proteasome inhibition caused these to assemble into phosphorylated and ubiquitinated TDP-43 aggregates. The deletion mutants lacked the exon skipping activity of cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator (CFTR) exon 9. Our results suggest that intracellular localization of TDP-43 and proteasomal function may be involved in inclusion formation and neurodegeneration in TDP-43 proteinopathies.
