ALS-Linked Protein FUS Plays Major Role in Gene Expression, Study Finds
Scientists have discovered a key role for the ALS-linked protein known as fused in sarcoma (FUS) in a system that is crucial to regulating gene expression. The study, “FUS Regulates Activity of MicroRNA-Mediated Gene Silencing,” was published in the journal Molecular Cell. FUS is a DNA/RNA-binding protein involved in repairing…
