The proteinopathy of the RNA-binding protein TDP-43, characterized by nuclear clearance and cytoplasmic inclusion, is a hallmark of multiple neurodegenerative diseases, including amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS), frontotemporal dementia (FTD), and Alzheimers disease (AD). Through CRISPR interference (CRISPRi) screening in human neurons, we identified the decapping enzyme scavenger (DCPS) as a novel genetic modifier of TDP-43 loss-of-function (LOF)-mediated neurotoxicity. Our findings reveal that TDP-43 LOF leads to aberrant mRNA degradation, via disrupting the properties and function of processing bodies (P-bodies). TDP-43 interacts with P-body component proteins, potentially influencing their dynamic equilibrium and assembly into ribonucleoprotein (RNP) granules. Reducing DCPS restores P-body integrity and RNA turnover, ultimately improving neuronal survival. Overall, this study highlights a novel role of TDP-43 in RNA processing through P-body regulation and identifies DCPS as a potential therapeutic target for TDP-43 proteinopathy-related neurodegenerative diseases.
