3B12A scFv selectively degrades aggregated TDP-43 and the CMA signal further promotes degradation of aggregated TDP-43. (a,b) HaloTag pulse chase assay of TDP-43WT and TDP-43mNLS,C173S/C175S. (c,d) Quantified data for HaloTag pulse chase assay of (a,b) respectively. Each data point was obtained by normalisation to actin. 3B12A scFvs promoted the degradation of the TDP-43mNLS,C173S/C175S mutant. Moreover, VH_VL-CMA significantly enhanced degradation compared with VH_VL. Differences were evaluated by two-way ANOVA (mean ± SD from three independent experiments; **p < 0.01, ***p < 0.005 and ****p < 0.001). N.S. indicates not significant. (e,f) Quantified data for HaloTag pulse chase assay of TDP-43mNLS and TDP-43C173S/C175S, respectively. Differences were evaluated by two-way ANOVA (mean ± SD from three independent experiments; *p < 0.05 and ***p < 0.005). N.S. indicates not significant. (g) HaloTag pulse chase assay for cytoplasmic aggregated TDP-43 in the presence of lactacystin or bafilomycin. (h) Quantitative analysis of (g) Each data point was obtained by normalisation to actin. Differences were evaluated by one-way ANOVA (mean ± SD from three independent experiments; **p < 0.01 and ***p < 0.005 vs DMSO control).
