Disrupted phase behavior of FUS underlies poly-PR-induced DNA damage in amyotrophic lateral sclerosis
26 Sept 2023
Abstract excerpt
GGGGCC (G4C2) hexanucleotide repeat expansion (HRE) in the first intron of the chromosome 9 open reading frame 72 (C9ORF72) gene is the most common genetic cause of amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) and frontotemporal dementia (FTD). Among the five dipeptide repeat proteins translated from G4C2 HRE, arginine-rich poly-PR (proline:arginine) is extremely toxic. However, the molecular mechanism responsible for...
