Grant Activity:
Characterising the unique functional and pathological properties of a novel extracellular RNA binding protein in Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis
Purpose:
'FUS' is an important protein that causes aggressive, juvenile types of motor neuron disease (MND). FUS is also implicated in the most common sporadic forms of MND (90% of cases), but the mechanisms involved are unclear. We have found a new form of FUS that is unique because it exists outside the cell, unlike all other MND proteins. Importantly we have found that in MND patients this protein is abnormal. Here we will examine its normal function outside the cell and its role in MND.
