The importance of TANK binding kinase-1 (TBK1), a multimeric kinase that
modulates inflammation and autophagy, in human health has been highlighted for
the first time by the recent discoveries of mutations in TBK1 that underlie
amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS), frontotemporal dementia (FTD), normal
tension glaucoma (NTG) or childhood herpes simplex encephalitis (HSE).
Gain-of-function of TBK1 are associated with NTG, whereas loss-of-function
mutations result in ALS/FTD or in HSE. In light of these new findings, we review
the role of TBK1 in these seemingly unrelated, yet allelic diseases, and discuss
the role of TBK1 in neuroinflammatory diseases. This discovery has the potential
to significantly increase our understanding of the molecular basis of these
poorly understood diseases.
