Abstract excerpt
FUS/TLS (fused in sarcoma/translocated in liposarcoma) encodes a multifunctional DNA/RNA binding protein with non-classical carboxy (C)-terminal nuclear localization signal (NLS). A variety of ALS-linked mutations are clustered in the C-terminal NLS, resulting in the cytoplasmic mislocalization and aggregation. Since the arginine methylations are implicated in the nuclear-cytoplasmic shuttling of FUS, a...
