Peptidylprolyl isomerase A governs TARDBP function and assembly in heterogeneous nuclear ribonucleoprotein complexes.
Peptidylprolyl isomerase A (PPIA), also known as cyclophilin A, is a multifunctional protein with peptidyl-prolyl cis-trans isomerase activity. PPIA is also a translational biomarker for amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, and is enriched in aggregates isolated from amyotrophic lateral sclerosis and frontotemporal lobar degeneration patients. Its normal function in the central nervous ... system is unknown. Here we show that PPIA is a functional interacting partner of TARDBP (also known as TDP-43). PPIA regulates expression of known TARDBP RNA targets and is necessary for the assembly of TARDBP in heterogeneous nuclear ribonucleoprotein complexes. Our data suggest that perturbation of PPIA/TARDBP interaction causes 'TDP-43' pathology. Consistent with this model, we show that the PPIA/TARDBP interaction is impaired in several pathological conditions. Moreover, PPIA depletion induces TARDBP aggregation, downregulates HDAC6, ATG7 and VCP, and accelerates disease progression in the SOD1(G93A) mouse model of amyotrophic lateral sclerosis. Targeting the PPIA/TARDBP interaction may represent a novel therapeutic avenue for conditions involving TARDBP/TDP-43 pathology, such as amyotrophic lateral sclerosis and frontotemporal lobar degeneration.
