This thesis investigates protein-mediated pathomechanisms and biomarkers in two familial forms of frontotemporal dementia (FTD) and amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) in cell culture and patient material. I focused on the ubiquitin-proteasome system (UPS), spreading-mechanisms and mitochondrial dysfunction. The most frequent genetic cause of FTD and ALS is a GGGGCC-repeat expansion mutation in the intronic region of C9orf72. Patients harbor hundreds of repeats that are bi-directionally transcribed. Repeat-containing transcripts form nuclear RNA foci and are unconventionally translated in all reading frames into five dipeptide repeat (DPR) proteins (poly-GA, poly-GP, poly-GR, poly-PA and poly-PR). These DPR proteins coaggregate specificall...
