Aberrant interaction of FUS with the U1 snRNA provides a molecular mechanism of FUS induced amyotrophic lateral sclerosis

Aberrant interaction of FUS with the U1 snRNA provides a molecular mechanism of FUS induced amyotrophic lateral sclerosis

Mutations in the RNA binding protein FUS cause amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS). Here the authors characterize FUS-binding to U1 snRNP and show that ALS-associated FUS aberrantly contacts U1 snRNA which interferes with its biogenesis pathway.
