Abstract excerpt
TLS (translocated in liposarcoma), also known as FUS (fused in sarcoma), is an RNA/DNA-binding protein that plays regulatory roles in transcription, pre-mRNA splicing and mRNA transport. Mutations in TLS are responsible for familial amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) type 6. Furthermore, TLS-containing intracellular inclusions are found in polyglutamine diseases, sporadic ALS, non-SOD1 familial ALS and a subset...
