Abstract
Growing evidence indicates that non-neuronal oligodendrocyte plays an important role in Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) and other neurodegenerative diseases. In patient's brain, the impaired myelin structure is a pathological feature with the observation of TDP-43 in cytoplasm of oligodendrocyte. However, the mechanism underlying the gain of function by TDP-43 in oligodendrocytes, which are vital for the axonal integrity, remains unclear. Recently, we found that the primate-specific cleavage of truncated TDP-43 fragments occurred in cytoplasm of monkey neural cells. This finding opened up the avenue to investigate the myelin integrity affected by pathogenic TDP-43 in oligodendrocytes. In current study, we demonstrated that the truncated TDP-35 in oligodendrocytes specifically, could lead to the dysfunctional demyelination in corpus callosum of monkey. As a consequence of the interaction of myelin regulatory factor with the accumulated TDP-35 in cytoplasm, the downstream myelin-associated genes expression was downregulated at the transcriptional level. Our study aims to investigate the potential effect on myelin structure injury, affected by the truncated TDP-43 in oligodendrocyte, which provided the additional clues on the gain of function during the progressive pathogenesis and symptoms in TDP-43 related diseases.

Abstract
The activity of UDP-GlcNAc 2-epimerase/ManNAc kinase (GNE) is essential for the biosynthesis of sialic acid, which is involved in cellular processes in health and diseases. GNE contains an N-terminal epimerase domain and a C-terminal kinase domain (N-acetylmannosamine kinase, MNK). Mutations of the GNE protein led to hypoactivity of the enzyme and cause sialurea or autosomal recessive inclusion body myopathy/Nonaka myopathy. Here, we used all-atom molecular dynamics (MD) simulations to comprehend the folding, dynamics and conformational stability of MNK variants, including the wild type (WT) and three mutants (H677R, V696M and H677R/V696M). The deleterious and destabilizing nature of MNK mutants were predicted using different prediction tools. Results predicted that mutations modulate the stability, flexibility and function of MNK. The effect of mutations on the conformational stability and dynamics of MNK was next studied through the free-energy landscape (FEL), hydrogen-bonds and secondary structure changes. The FEL results show that the mutations interfere with various conformational transitions in both WT and mutants, exposing the structural underpinnings of protein destabilization and unfolding brought on by mutation. We discover that, when compared to the other two mutations, V696M and H677R/V696M, H677R has the most harmful effects. These findings have a strong correlation with published experimental studies that demonstrate how these mutations disrupt MNK activity. Hence, this computational study describes the structural details to unravel the mutant effects at the atomistic resolution and has implications for understanding the GNE's physiological and pathological role.Communicated by Ramaswamy H.

Abstract
Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) and frontotemporal dementia (FTD) are fatal neurodegenerative disorders on a disease spectrum that are characterized by the cytoplasmic mislocalization and aberrant phase transitions of prion-like RNA-binding proteins (RBPs). The common accumulation of TAR DNA-binding protein-43 (TDP-43), fused in sarcoma (FUS), and other nuclear RBPs in detergent-insoluble aggregates in the cytoplasm of degenerating neurons in ALS/FTD is connected to nuclear pore dysfunction and other defects in the nucleocytoplasmic transport machinery. Recent advances suggest that beyond their canonical role in the nuclear import of protein cargoes, nuclear-import receptors (NIRs) can prevent and reverse aberrant phase transitions of TDP-43, FUS, and related prion-like RBPs and restore their nuclear localization and function. Here, we showcase the NIR family and how they recognize cargo, drive nuclear import, and chaperone prion-like RBPs linked to ALS/FTD. We also discuss the promise of enhancing NIR levels and developing potentiated NIR variants as therapeutic strategies for ALS/FTD and related neurodegenerative proteinopathies.

Abstract
The nuclear loss and cytoplasmic accumulation of TDP-43 (TAR DNA/RNA binding protein 43) are pathological hallmarks of amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) and frontotemporal lobar degeneration (FTLD). Previously, we reported that the primate-specific cleavage of TDP-43 accounts for its cytoplasmic mislocalization in patients' brains. This prompted us to investigate further whether and how the loss of nuclear TDP-43 mediates neuropathology in primate brain. In this study, we report that TDP-43 knockdown at the similar effectiveness, induces more damage to neuronal cells in the monkey brain than rodent mouse. Importantly, the loss of TDP-43 suppresses the E3 ubiquitin ligase PJA1 expression in the monkey brain at transcriptional level, but yields an opposite upregulation of PJA1 in the mouse brain. This distinct effect is due to the species-dependent binding of nuclear TDP-43 to the unique promoter sequences of the PJA1 genes. Further analyses reveal that the reduction of PJA1 accelerates neurotoxicity, whereas overexpressing PJA1 diminishes neuronal cell death by the TDP-43 knockdown in vivo. Our findings not only uncover a novel primate-specific neurotoxic contribution to the loss of function theory of TDP-43 proteinopathy, but also underscore a potential therapeutic approach of PJA1 to the loss of nuclear TDP-43.

Abstract
Abnormal aggregation and amyloid inclusions of TAR DNA-binding protein 43 (TDP-43) and α-Synuclein (α-Syn) are frequently co-observed in amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, Parkinson's disease, and Alzheimer's disease. Several reports showed TDP-43 C-terminal domain (CTD) and α-Syn interact with each other and the aggregates of these two proteins colocalized together in different cellular and animal models. Molecular dynamics simulation was conducted to elucidate the stability of the TDP-43 and Syn complex structure. The interfacial mutations in protein complexes changes the stability and binding affinity of the protein that may cause diseases. Here, we have utilized the computational saturation mutagenesis approach including structure-based stability and binding energy calculations to compute the systemic effects of missense mutations of TDP-43 CTD and α-Syn on protein stability and binding affinity. Most of the interfacial mutations of CTD and α-Syn were found to destabilize the protein and reduced the protein binding affinity. The results thus shed light on the functional consequences of missense mutations observed in TDP-43 associated proteinopathies and may provide the mechanisms of co-morbidities involving these two proteins.Communicated by Ramaswamy H.

Abstract
The aggregation of RNA binding proteins, including hnRNPA1/2, TDP-43 and FUS, is heavily implicated in causing or increasing disease risk for a series of neurodegenerative diseases such as amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS). A recent experimental study demonstrated that an ALS-related D290V mutation in the low complexity domain (LCD) of hnRNPA2 can enhance the aggregation propensity of wild type (WT) hnRNPA2286-291 peptide. However, the underlying molecular mechanisms remain elusive. Herein, we investigated effects of D290V mutation on aggregation dynamics of hnRNPA2286-291 peptide and the conformational ensemble of hnRNPA2286-291 oligomers by performing all-atom molecular dynamic and replica-exchange molecular dynamic simulations. Our simulations demonstrate that D290V mutation greatly reduces the dynamics of hnRNPA2286-291 peptide and that D290V oligomers possess higher compactness and β-sheet content than WT, indicative of mutation-enhanced aggregation capability. Specifically, D290V mutation strengthens inter-peptide hydrophobic, main-chain hydrogen bonding and side-chain aromatic stacking interactions. Those interactions collectively lead to the enhancement of aggregation capability of hnRNPA2286-291 peptides. Overall, our study provides insights into the dynamics and thermodynamic mechanisms underlying D290V-induced disease-causing aggregation of hnRNPA2286-291, which could contribute to better understanding of the transitions from reversible condensates to irreversible pathogenic aggregates of hnRNPA2 LCD in ALS-related diseases.

Abstract
Cancer care has become a challenge with the current COVID-19 pandemic scenario. Specially, cancers like small cell lung cancers (SCLC) are difficult to treat even in the normal situation due to their rapid growth and early metastasis. For such patients, treatment can't be compromised and care must be taken to ensure their minimum exposure to the ongoing spread of COVID-19 infection. For this reason, in-house treatments are being suggested for these patients. Another issue is that symptoms of SCLC match well with that of COVID-19 infection. Hence, the detection of COVID-19 may also get delayed leading to unnecessary complications. Thus, we have tried to investigate if the therapeutics that is currently used in lung cancer treatment can also act against SARS-CoV-2. If it is so, the same treatment protocols can be continued even if the SCLC patient had contracted COVID-19 without compromising the cancer care. For this, RNA dependent RNA polymerase (RdRP) from SARS-CoV-2 has been selected as drug target. Both docking and molecular dynamicssimulation analysis have indicated that Paclitaxel and Dacomitinib may be explored as multi-target drugs for both SCLC and COVID-19.Communicated by Ramaswamy H.

Abstract
The cytoplasmic accumulation and aggregates of TARDBP/TDP-43 (TAR DNA binding protein) are a pathological hallmark in amyotrophic lateral sclerosis and frontotemporal lobar degeneration. We previously reported that the primate specific cleavage of TARDBP accounts for its cytoplasmic mislocalization in the primate brains, prompting us to further investigate how the cytoplasmic TARDBP mediates neuropathology. Here we reported that cytoplasmic mutant TARDBP reduced SQSTM1 expression selectively in the monkey brain, when compared with the mouse brain, by inducing SQSTM1 mRNA instability via its binding to the unique 3'UTR sequence (GU/UG)n of the primate SQSTM1 transcript. Overexpression of SQSTM1 could diminish the cytoplasmic C-terminal TARDBP accumulation in the monkey brain by augmenting macroautophagy/autophagy activity. Our findings provide additional clues for the pathogenesis of cytoplasmic TARDBP and a potential therapy for mutant TARDBP-mediated neuropathology.

Abstract
Over the last two decades, the pathogenic aggregation of TAR DNA-binding protein 43 (TDP-43) is found to be strongly associated with several fatal neurodegenerative diseases such as amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) and frontotemporal lobar degeneration (FTD), etc. While the mutations and truncation in TDP-43 protein have been suggested to be responsible for TDP-43 pathogenesis by accelerating the aggregation process, the effects of these mutations on the bio-mechanism of pathological TDP-43 protein remained poorly understood. Investigating this at the molecular level, we formulized an integrated workflow of molecular dynamic simulation and machine learning models (MD-ML). By performing an extensive structural analysis of three disease-related mutations (i.e., I168A, D169G, and I168A-D169G) in the conserved RNA recognition motifs (RRM1) of TDP-43, we observed that the I168A-D169G double mutant delineates the highest packing of the protein inner core as compared to the other mutations, which may indicate more stability and higher chances of pathogenesis. Moreover, through our MD-ML workflow, we identified the biological descriptors of TDP-43 which includes the interacting residue pairs and individual protein residues that influence the stability of the protein and could be experimentally evaluated to develop potential therapeutic strategies.Communicated by Ramaswamy H.

Abstract
TDP-43 proteinopathies is a disease hallmark that characterizes amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) and frontotemporal lobar degeneration (FTLD). The N-terminal domain of TDP-43 (NTD) is important to both TDP-43 physiology and TDP-43 proteinopathy. However, its folding and dimerization process is still poorly characterized. In the present study, we have investigated the folding/unfolding of NTD employing all-atom molecular dynamics (MD) simulations in 8 M dimethylsulfoxide (DMSO) at high temperatures. The MD results showed that the unfolding of the NTD at high temperature evolves through the formation of a number of conformational states differing in their stability and free energy. The presence of structurally heterogeneous population of intermediate ensembles was further characterized by the different extents of solvent exposure of Trp80 during unfolding. We suggest that these non-natives unfolded intermediate ensembles may facilitate NTD oligomerization and subsequently TDP-43 oligomerization, which might lead to the formation of irreversible pathological aggregates, characteristics of disease pathogenesis.

Abstract
Many studies have shown that the lysosomal cathepsins, especially cathepsins B/L (CTSB/L) are required for SARS-CoV-2 entry into host cells. Lysosomal proteases, cathepsins are indispensable for normal health and are involved in several brain disorders occurring at different development age periods. On the other hand, it has been well known that COVID-19 infection is largely associated with several neurological disorders. Taken together these findings and given the high levels of expression of CTSB/L in the brain, we here proposed a reasonable hypothesis about the involvement of CTSB/L in the neurological manifestations linked to COVID-19. Pharmacological inhibitions of the CTSB/L could be a potential therapeutic target to block the virus entry as well as to mitigate the brain disorders. To this end, we utilized the network-based drug repurposing analyses to identify the possible drugs that can target CTSB/L. This study identifies the molecules like cyclosporine, phenytoin, and paclitaxel as potential drugs with binding ability to the CTSB/L. Further, we have performed molecular docking and all-atom molecular dynamics (MD) simulations to investigate the stability of CTSL-drug complexes. The results showed strong and stable binding of drugs with CTSL.

Abstract
Long noncoding RNAs (lncRNAs) regulate many biological processes by interacting with corresponding RNA-binding proteins. The identification of lncRNA-protein Interactions (LPIs) is significantly important to well characterize the biological functions and mechanisms of lncRNAs. Existing computational methods have been effectively applied to LPI prediction. However, the majority of them were evaluated only on one LPI dataset, thereby resulting in prediction bias. More importantly, part of models did not discover possible LPIs for new lncRNAs (or proteins). In addition, the prediction performance remains limited. To solve with the above problems, in this study, we develop a Deep Forest-based LPI prediction method (LPIDF). First, five LPI datasets are obtained and the corresponding sequence information of lncRNAs and proteins are collected. Second, features of lncRNAs and proteins are constructed based on four-nucleotide composition and BioSeq2vec with encoder-decoder structure, respectively. Finally, a deep forest model with cascade forest structure is developed to find new LPIs. We compare LPIDF with four classical association prediction models based on three fivefold cross validations on lncRNAs, proteins, and LPIs. LPIDF obtains better average AUCs of 0.9012, 0.6937 and 0.9457, and the best average AUPRs of 0.9022, 0.6860, and 0.9382, respectively, for the three CVs, significantly outperforming other methods. The results show that the lncRNA FTX may interact with the protein P35637 and needs further validation.

Abstract
The COVID-19 pandemic caused by SARS-CoV-2 represents a global public health emergency. The entry of SARS-CoV-2 into host cells requires the activation of its spike protein by host cell proteases. The serine protease, TMPRSS2, and cysteine proteases, Cathepsins B/L, activate spike protein and enable SARS-CoV-2 entry to the host cell through two completely different and independent pathways. Therefore, inhibiting either TMPRSS2 or cathepsin B/L may not sufficiently block the virus entry. We here hypothesized that simultaneous targeting of both the entry pathways would be more efficient to block the virus entry rather than targeting the entry pathways individually. To this end, we utilized the network-based drug repurposing analyses to identify the possible common drugs that can target both the entry pathways. This study, for the first time, reports the molecules like cyclosporine, calcitriol, and estradiol as candidate drugs with the binding ability to the host proteases, TMPRSS2, and cathepsin B/L. Next, we analyzed drug-gene and gene-gene interaction networks using 332 human targets of SARS-CoV-2 proteins. The network results indicate that, out of 332 human proteins, cyclosporine interacts with 216 (65%) proteins. Furthermore, we performed molecular docking and all-atom molecular dynamics (MD) simulations to explore the binding of drug with TMPRSS2 and cathepsin L. The molecular docking and MD simulation results showed strong and stable binding of cyclosporine A (CsA) with TMPRSS2 and CTSL genes. The above results indicate cyclosporine as a potential drug molecule, as apart from interacting with SARS-CoV-2 entry receptors, it also interacts with most of SARS-CoV-2 target host genes; thus it could potentially interfere with functions of SARS-CoV-2 proteins in human cells. We here also suggest that these antiviral drugs alone or in combination can simultaneously target both the entry pathways and thus can be considered as a potential treatment option for COVID-19.

Abstract
Abstract The outbreak of novel coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) caused by severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus-2 (SARS-CoV-2) virus continually led to infect a large population worldwide. SARS-CoV-2 utilizes its NSP6 and Orf9c proteins to interact with sigma receptors that are implicated in lipid remodeling and ER stress response, to infect cells. The drugs targeting the sigma receptors, sigma-1 and sigma-2, have emerged as effective candidates to reduce viral infectivity, and some of them are in clinical trials against COVID-19. The antipsychotic drug, haloperidol, exerts remarkable antiviral activity, but, at the same time, the sigma-1 benzomorphan agonist, dextromethorphan, showed pro-viral activity. To explore the potential mechanisms of biased binding and activity of the two drugs, haloperidol and dextromethorphan towards NSP6, we herein utilized molecular docking–based molecular dynamics simulation studies. Our extensive analysis of the protein-drug interactions, structural and conformational dynamics, residual frustrations, and molecular switches of NSP6-drug complexes indicates that dextromethorphan binding leads to structural destabilization and increase in conformational dynamics and energetic frustrations. On the other hand, the strong binding of haloperidol leads to minimal structural and dynamical perturbations to NSP6. Thus, the structural insights of stronger binding affinity and favorable molecular interactions of haloperidol towards viral NSP6 suggests that haloperidol can be potentially explored as a candidate drug against COVID-19. Key messages •Inhibitors of sigma receptors are considered as potent drugs against COVID-19. •Antipsychotic drug, haloperidol, binds strongly to NSP6 and induces the minimal changes in structure and dynamics of NSP6. •Dextromethorphan, agonist of sigma receptors, binding leads to overall destabilization of NSP6. •These two drugs bind with NSP6 differently and also induce differences in the structural and conformational changes that explain their different mechanisms of action. •Haloperidol can be explored as a candidate drug against COVID-19.
