Oxidative stress is a therapeutic target in TDP-43 proteinopathies like amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) and FTLD-TDP. TDP-43 over-expression causes oxidative stress in yeast model of ALS. Previously, we developed a red/white color conversion reporter assay using ade1 or ade2 mutant yeast to examine oxidative stress induced by expression of amyloidogenic proteins.
