| Post Translational Modifications | Arg-216 and Arg-218 are dimethylated, probably to asymmetric dimethylarginine. Phosphorylated in its N-terminal serine residues upon induced DNA damage. ATM and DNA-PK are able to phosphorylate FUS N-terminal region. |
| Function | DNA/RNA-binding protein that plays a role in various cellular processes such as transcription regulation, RNA splicing, RNA transport, DNA repair and damage response. Binds to nascent pre-mRNAs and acts as a molecular mediator between RNA polymerase II and U1 small nuclear ribonucleoprotein thereby coupling transcription and splicing. Binds also its own pre-mRNA and autoregulates its expression.this autoregulation mechanism is mediated by non-sense-mediated decay. Plays a role in DNA repair mechanisms by promoting D-loop formation and homologous recombination during DNA double-strand break repair. In neuronal cells, plays crucial roles in dendritic spine formation and stability, RNA transport, mRNA stability and synaptic homeostasis. |
