Abstract excerpt
Many mutations in the fused in sarcoma (FUS) gene have been identified as genetic causative factors of amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS). As a certain number of mutants form aberrant cytoplasmic granules under specific conditions, granule forming ability of FUS is believed to be linked to the pathogenesis of ALS. However, molecular mechanisms underlying this property remain unclear. An ALS-linked FUS mutant,...
