R521C and R521H mutations in FUS result in weak binding with Karyopherinβ2 leading to Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis: a molecular docking and dynamics study.

Abstract excerpt

Fused in sarcoma (FUS) gene encodes the RNA binding protein FUS. This gene is mapped to chromosome 16p11.2. The FUS protein binds with karyopherineβ2 (Kapβ2) through its proline/tyrosine nuclear localization signal (PY-NLS) that helps in the localization of FUS protein within the nucleus. Arginine residue in 521 position (R521) of PY-NLS plays a vital role in the binding of FUS protein with Kapβ2. Mutations in...
