FUS fibrillation occurs through a nucleation-based process below the critical concentration required for liquid–liquid phase separation
Abstract FUS is an RNA-binding protein involved in familiar forms of ALS and FTLD that also assembles into fibrillar cytoplasmic aggregates in some neurodegenerative diseases without genetic causes. The self-adhesive prion-like domain in FUS generates reversible condensates via the liquid–liquid pha...
