Figure 1 Model of FUS Protein Assemblies
FUS wild-type protein can assemble into liquid or hydrogel states that can be fully reversed to a mixed bulk solution. FUS ALS/FTD mutations lead to assembly of liquids and/or gels that can no longer be reversed, resulting in the retention of additional proteins. This insoluble, irreversible protein phase correlates with deteriorated motor nerve function and decreased lifespan, characteristic of ALS/FTD diseases.
