Furthermore, other examples of aberrant PTMs include acetylation of glial fibrillary acidic protein in ALS (Liu et al., 2013), acetylated TDP-43 in ALS (Wang et al., 2017) and sialylation of amyloid precursor protein in AD (Nakagawa et al., 2006). The gene discussed is TARDBP; the disease is amyotrophic lateral sclerosis.
