  1. 在神經細胞核內,活化的 Caspase-4 酵素靠近與 RNA 結合的完整 TDP-43 蛋白質。
  2. Caspase-4 酵素對接並切割 TDP-43 蛋白質,使其分解成碎片。
  3. 切斷後的 TDP-43 片段穿過核孔,由細胞核進入周圍的細胞質中。
  4. 細胞質中的 TDP-43 片段聚集成深色團塊,神經元結構開始退化。
  1. A detailed view of a neuron's nucleus where active human Caspase-4 enzymes hover near healthy, full-length TDP-43 proteins bound to RNA
  2. The Caspase-4 enzymes dock onto the TDP-43 proteins, causing them to be cleaved into smaller, truncated protein fragments
  3. The truncated TDP-43 fragments migrate through the nuclear pores and exit into the surrounding liquid cytoplasm
  4. In the cytoplasm, the TDP-43 fragments cluster together into dense, dark protein aggregates as the neuron's structure begins to degenerate
