Abstract excerpt
Mutations in the RNA binding protein FUS (fused in sarcoma) have been linked to a subset of familial amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) cases. The mutations are clustered in the C-terminal nuclear localization sequence (NLS). Various FUS mutants accumulate in the cytoplasm whereas wild-type (WT) FUS is mainly nuclear. Here we investigate the effect of one ALS causing mutant (FUS-ΔNLS, also known as R495X) on...
