Monitoring the kinetics of amyloid formation of expanded polyQ proteins in vitro and in vivo revealed that TLS inhibits polyQ aggregate growth. Further analysis demonstrated that TLS binding to polyQ amyloid and amorphous aggregates takes place at an early stage and interferes with amyloid formation before the formation of amyloid fibrils. Examination of polyQ aggregates in HD transgenic mouse brain revealed that TLS colocalizes with neuronal intranuclear inclusions (NIIs). Immunohistochemistry showed that TLS binds to neuronal intranuclear inclusions of human HD brain, suggesting that TLS participates in the pathogenesis of polyQ diseases. <a href="https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/?cmd=link&linkname=pubmed_pubmed&from_uid=18167354" target="_blank" onclick="gtag('event', 'mim_outbound', {'name': 'PubMed Related', 'domain': 'pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov'})"><span class="glyphicon glyphicon-plus-sign mim-tip-hint" title="Click this 'reference-plus' icon to see articles related to this paragraph in PubMed."></span></a></p>

Of the 59 tumors studied, 12 were FUS/CREB3L2-positive, all of which were diagnosed at histopathologic reexamination as being LGFMS, of both the classic subtype and the subtype with giant collagen rosettes. The breakpoints in the fusion transcripts were always in exons 6 or 7 of FUS and exon 5 of CREB3L2. In the FUS/CREB3L2 chimera, the DNA binding and basic leucine zipper dimerization (bZIP)-encoding domain of CREB3L2 comes under the control of the FUS promoter, which, in turn, may cause deregulation of genes normally controlled by CREB3L2. <a href="https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/?term=15139001+10923080+12915480+12960807" target="_blank" onclick="gtag('event', 'mim_outbound', {'name': 'PubMed Related', 'domain': 'pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov'})"><span class="glyphicon glyphicon-plus-sign mim-tip-hint" title="Click this 'reference-plus' icon to see articles related to this paragraph in PubMed."></span></a></p>

However, only 54% of those who were 'possibly' affected carried the mutation, and 1 unaffected individual who was 24 years old carried the mutation. The mutation was found by exome sequencing. The Q290X mutation was demonstrated to result in nonsense-mediated mRNA decay.

ETM4 patient lymphoblastoid cells with the FUS mutations showed significantly lower overall expression of mutant FUS mRNA compared to cells from patients with ALS6 due to FUS mutations. In addition, ETM4 cells with the mutations showed a significant increase in FUS mRNA expression after treatment with the translation inhibitor puromycin, which was not seen with ALS6 FUS mutations. These findings indicated that truncating FUS mutations in ETM4 are associated with nonsense-mediated mRNA decay, whereas mutant FUS from ALS6 cells appear to escape nonsense-mediated mRNA decay. Thus, ETM4 may be due to loss of FUS function, whereas ALS6 may result from a toxic gain-of-function effect. <a href="https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/?cmd=link&linkname=pubmed_pubmed&from_uid=22863194" target="_blank" onclick="gtag('event', 'mim_outbound', {'name': 'PubMed Related', 'domain': 'pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov'})"><span class="glyphicon glyphicon-plus-sign mim-tip-hint" title="Click this 'reference-plus' icon to see articles related to this paragraph in PubMed."></span></a></p>

Expression of R495X FUS, which abrogates a putative nuclear localization signal at the C terminus of FUS, in HEK-293 cells and in the zebrafish spinal cord caused a striking cytoplasmic accumulation of the protein to a greater extent than that observed for recessive (H517Q; <a href="#0001">137070.0001</a>) and dominant (R521G; <a href="#0002">137070.0002</a>) missense mutants.

The mutation segregated with the disorder in all patients who were determined to be 'definitely' or 'probably' affected. However, only 54% of those who were 'possibly' affected carried the mutation, and 1 unaffected individual who was 24 years old also carried the mutation. The mutation, which was found by exome sequencing and confirmed by Sanger sequencing, was not found in 450 controls or in a large exome database. Studies of patient lymphoblastoid cells showed that the mutant mRNA was degraded by nonsense-mediated mRNA decay, resulting in haploinsufficiency. ETM4 patient lymphoblastoid cells showed significantly lower overall expression of mutant FUS mRNA than did cells from patients with ALS6 due to FUS mutations. None of the patients over the age of onset of amyotrophic lateral sclerosis had signs of that disorder. <a href="https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/?cmd=link&linkname=pubmed_pubmed&from_uid=22863194" target="_blank" onclick="gtag('event', 'mim_outbound', {'name': 'PubMed Related', 'domain': 'pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov'})"><span class="glyphicon glyphicon-plus-sign mim-tip-hint" title="Click this 'reference-plus' icon to see articles related to this paragraph in PubMed."></span></a></p>

<span class="mim-text-font">
<p>FUS is a nucleoprotein that functions in DNA and RNA metabolism, including DNA repair, and the regulation of transcription, RNA splicing, and export to the cytoplasm. Translocation of the FUS transcriptional activation domain results in fusion proteins and has been implicated in tumorigenesis (summary by Vance et al., 2009). </p>

<strong>Cloning and Expression</strong>
</span>
</h4>
</div>
<span class="mim-text-font">
<p>Rabbitts et al. (1993) identified the FUS gene as part of a fusion gene with the transcription factor gene CHOP (DDIT3; 126337) in tumor tissue derived from 2 patients with liposarcomas carrying t(12;16)(q13;p11) translocations. Nucleotide and derived protein sequences of the FUS gene were determined by isolating the gene from a cDNA library. The deduced 525-residue protein contains 3 glycine clusters and 6 potential N-linked glycosylation sites. Rabbitts et al. (1993) postulated that the fusion gene disrupted transcription. </p><p>Crozat et al. (1993) independently identified the FUS gene, which they termed 'TLS' for translocated in liposarcoma, in tissue tumor of human myxoid liposarcoma. The TLS gene was also fused with CHOP. The full-length TLS gene encodes a 526-amino acid protein. Western blot analysis detected TLS as a 68-kD band. They noted that a 1.9- to 2.0-kb transcript was detected in all cell lines and tissues examined. TLS was shown to be a nuclear RNA-binding protein with extensive sequence similarity to EWSR1 (133450), the product of a gene commonly translocated in Ewing sarcoma (612219). In the TLS/CHOP fusion gene, the RNA-binding domain of TLS was replaced by the DNA-binding and leucine zipper dimerization domain of CHOP. Crozat et al. (1993) suggested that the fusion protein caused a disruption in transcription. </p><p>Vance et al. (2013) reported that the full-length 526-amino acid FUS protein contains an N-terminal serine-, tyrosine-, glycine-, and glutamine-rich domain, followed by a glycine-rich region, an RNA recognition motif, and a zinc finger domain. Interspersed between these domains are 3 RGG repeat regions. Vance et al. (2013) determined that FUS also has a C-terminal proline-tyrosine nuclear localization signal. Epitope-tagged FUS localized predominantly to the nucleus of transfected human neuroblastoma cells. </p>

<strong>Gene Structure</strong>
</span>
</h4>
</div>
<span class="mim-text-font">
<p>Aman et al. (1996) defined the genomic structure of FUS and compared it with the structure of EWSR1. The FUS gene contains 15 exons located within 11 kb of genomic DNA. FUS exon 1 contains a 72-bp untranslated region and the translation initiation codon. Multiple glycine repeats occurred in a number of positions in the gene, and an RNP region was encoded by exons 9, 10 and 11. The exon/intron structures of FUS and EWSR1 showed extensive similarities in the RNP regions, suggesting that the 2 genes may have been derived from a common ancestor. The sequence upstream of the FUS transcription start site contained no TATA boxes but did contain stretches of C and G. </p><p>Morohoshi et al. (1998) determined that the FUS gene spans 12 kb. They noted that the conservation of the overall exon number and structure of RBP56 (601574), FUS, and EWSR1 indicates that they probably originated from the same ancestral gene. </p>

<p>Crozat et al. (1993) localized the FUS gene to chromosome 16p11 by analyzing the site of the breakpoint of translocation in Ewing sarcoma. The assignment was further narrowed to 16p11.2 by cytogenetic studies of Eneroth et al. (1990) and of Mrozek et al. (1993). </p>

<p>Aman et al. (1996) found that the N-terminal ends of FUS and EWSR1 differed, but they shared extensive homology and were distinct from the N-terminal regions of other RNP-carrying proteins, suggesting that FUS and EWSR1 could be regarded as the first members of a new family of RNA-binding proteins. Several recognition sites for the transcription factors AP2 (107580), GCF (189901), and Sp1 (189906) were identified in FUS. Aman et al. (1996) stressed that the nature of the promoter regions of FUS and EWSR1 is important for understanding the control of the fusion genes involving FUS and EWSR1 in tumors. All tumor-specific translocations resulted in the formation of fusion genes with FUS or EWSR1 promoter regions and 5-prime coding regions linked to transcription factor genes. Thus, the transcriptional control of the fusion genes is most likely dominated by the FUS and EWS promoters. Aman et al. (1996) reported that exons 1 to 5 of FUS are invariably present in tumor-associated fusion proteins involving FUS. The tumor breakpoints in the EWSR1 and FUS genes are all localized in the same regions of the genes, upstream of the RNP encoding exons. FUS and EWSR1 were expressed in all tissues examined. </p><p>The leukemogenic potential of BCR (151410)/ABL (189980) oncoproteins depends on their tyrosine kinase activity and involves the activation of several downstream effectors, some of which are essential for cell transformation. Using electrophoretic mobility shift assays and Southwestern blot analyses with a double-stranded oligonucleotide containing a zinc finger consensus sequence, Perrotti et al. (1998) identified a 68-kD DNA-binding protein specifically induced by BCR/ABL. The peptide sequence of the affinity-purified protein was identical to that of the RNA-binding protein FUS. Binding activity of FUS required a functional BCR/ABL tyrosine kinase necessary to induce PRKCB2 (see 176970)-dependent FUS phosphorylation. Moreover, suppression of PRKCB2 activity in BCR/ABL-expressing cells by treatment with the PRKCB2 inhibitor CGP53353, or by expression of a dominant-negative PRKCB2, markedly impaired the ability of FUS to bind DNA. Suppression of FUS expression in myeloid precursor 32Dcl3 cells transfected with a FUS antisense construct was associated with upregulation of the granulocyte colony-stimulating factor receptor (GCSFR; 138971) and downregulation of interleukin-3 receptor beta-chain (IL3RB; 138981) expression, and accelerated GCSF (138970)-stimulated differentiation. Downregulation of FUS expression in BCR/ABL-expressing 32Dcl3 cells was associated with suppression of growth factor-independent colony formation, restoration of GCSF-induced granulocytic differentiation, and reduced tumorigenic potential in vivo. Perrotti et al. (1998) suggested that FUS might function as a regulator of BCR/ABL leukemogenesis, promoting growth factor independence and preventing differentiation via modulation of cytokine receptor expression. </p><p>By Western blot analysis, Yang et al. (2000) showed that the N-terminal domain of TLS binds to RNA polymerase II and that this binding was retained by the TLS/ERG (165080) fusion protein. However, the C-terminal domain of TLS was required for interaction with the serine-arginine (SR) splicing factor SC35 (SFRS2; 600813) and the TLS-associated SR proteins TASR1 and TASR2; this binding was lost in the TLS/ERG fusion protein because ERG replaced the C terminus of TLS. </p><p>Wang et al. (2008) showed that an RNA-binding protein, TLS, serves as a key transcriptional regulatory sensor of DNA damage signals that, on the basis of its allosteric modulation by RNA, specifically binds to and inhibits CREB-binding protein (CBP; 600140) and p300 histone acetyltransferase (602700) activities on a repressed gene target, cyclin D1 (CCND1; 168461), in human cell lines. Recruitment of TLS to the CCND1 promoter to cause gene-specific repression is directed by single-stranded, low copy-number noncoding RNA (ncRNA) transcripts tethered to the 5-prime regulatory regions of CCND1 that are induced in response to DNA damage signals. Wang et al. (2008) suggested that signal-induced noncoding RNAs localized to regulatory regions of transcription units can act cooperatively as selective ligands, recruiting and modulating the activities of distinct classes of RNA-binding coregulators in response to specific signals, providing an unexpected noncoding RNA/RNA-binding protein-based strategy to integrate transcriptional programs. </p><p>Using human prooncoprotein TLS purified from HeLa nuclear extracts, Baechtold et al. (1999) showed that TLS binds both single-stranded DNA (ssDNA) and double-stranded DNA (dsDNA), with a 2-fold higher affinity for ssDNA. TLS can mediate the annealing of complementary ssDNAs, and this reaction requires Mg(2+), but not ATP. TLS was also found to promote the formation of stable D-loops in a homology-dependent manner during homologous recombination, again in the presence of Mg(2+), but not ATP. </p><p>Lerga et al. (2001) found that TLS specifically recognized RNA sequences containing a GGUG motif both in vitro and in vivo, and the specificity was determined by the cooperation between the RRM and RGG RNA binding domains of TLS. Analysis of TLS deletion mutants expressed in IW1-32 erythroid cells showed that these RNA binding domains of TLS are also responsible for the functional interference of TLS with in vivo splicing of pre-mRNAs. </p><p>Doi et al. (2008) found that TLS is one of the major nuclear polyQ aggregate-interacting proteins in a Huntington disease (HD; 143100) cell model, and binds directly to nuclear polyQ aggregates through its QSY-rich domain. Monitoring the kinetics of amyloid formation of expanded polyQ proteins in vitro and in vivo revealed that TLS inhibits polyQ aggregate growth. Further analysis demonstrated that TLS binding to polyQ amyloid and amorphous aggregates takes place at an early stage and interferes with amyloid formation before the formation of amyloid fibrils. Examination of polyQ aggregates in HD transgenic mouse brain revealed that TLS colocalizes with neuronal intranuclear inclusions (NIIs). Immunohistochemistry showed that TLS binds to neuronal intranuclear inclusions of human HD brain, suggesting that TLS participates in the pathogenesis of polyQ diseases. </p>

<p>Ichikawa et al. (1994) and Panagopoulos et al. (1994) reported that the FUS gene was fused to the ERG gene in a patient with acute myeloid leukemia with a translocation t(16:21)(p11;q22). </p><p>Waters et al. (2000) described a 5.5-year-old girl who presented with a firm mass in her left forearm diagnosed as an angiomatoid fibrous histiocytoma (612160). Analysis of tumor tissue showed complex rearrangements between chromosomes 2, 12, 16, and 17 were noted on karyotypic study, as well as deletion in the long arm of chromosome 11. A t(12;16) site was investigated using RT-PCR. The FUS gene at 16p11.2 was found to be combined with the ATF1 gene (123803) at 12q13, generating a chimeric FUS/ATF1. Waters et al. (2000) found that FUS was interrupted at codon 175 and fused to codon 110 of ATF1, resulting in an in-frame junction with a glycine-to-valine (GGT-to-GTT) transition. </p><p>Low-grade fibromyxoid sarcoma (LGFMS) is a variant of fibrosarcoma. In 2 cases of soft tissue sarcoma that fulfilled morphologic criteria for LGFMS, Storlazzi et al. (2003) identified an FUS/CREB3L2 (608834) chimera, caused by a translocation between chromosome bands 7q33-q34 (CREB3L2) and 16p11 (FUS). A t(7;16)(q34;p11) translocation with the same or similar breakpoints had previously been reported in 5 other cases of LGFMS (Bejarano et al., 2000; Reid et al., 2003). To delineate the spectrum of tumors that may harbor the FUS/CREB3L2 fusion gene, Panagopoulos et al. (2004) selected 45 low-grade spindle cell sarcomas for study. None of these tumors had originally been diagnosed as LGFMS. Fourteen other tumors were also analyzed: 2 benign soft tissue tumors, 9 high-grade sarcomas with supernumerary ring chromosomes or 7q3 rearrangement, and 3 tumors diagnosed as LGFMS prior to genetic analysis. Of the 59 tumors studied, 12 were FUS/CREB3L2-positive, all of which were diagnosed at histopathologic reexamination as being LGFMS, of both the classic subtype and the subtype with giant collagen rosettes. The breakpoints in the fusion transcripts were always in exons 6 or 7 of FUS and exon 5 of CREB3L2. In the FUS/CREB3L2 chimera, the DNA binding and basic leucine zipper dimerization (bZIP)-encoding domain of CREB3L2 comes under the control of the FUS promoter, which, in turn, may cause deregulation of genes normally controlled by CREB3L2. </p>

<p><strong><em>Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis 6</em></strong></p><p>
Lattante et al. (2013) provided a review of FUS mutations associated with amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS6; 608030). FUS mutations occur in about 5% of patients with familial ALS and in 1% of patients with sporadic disease. </p><p>In 17 different families with amyotrophic lateral sclerosis-6 (ALS6; 608030), Kwiatkowski et al. (2009) identified 13 different mutations in the FUS gene (see, e.g., 137070.0001-137070.0004), including 10 mutations in exon 15. Only 1 mutation (137070.0001) was found in homozygosity. Postmortem examination of 1 patient with the R521G mutation (137070.0002) showed loss of motor neurons in the anterior horn of the spinal cord and the hypoglossal nucleus. Immunostaining showed nuclear and cytoplasmic aggregation of FUS and diffuse ubiquitin positivity in nuclei in the patient tissue, but not control tissue, suggesting misfolding of a nuclear protein. In vitro RNA binding studies showed that the mutations did not affect binding of RNA oligomers. </p><p>Vance et al. (2009) identified 3 FUS mutations in 9 families with ALS6. All of the mutations had also been found by Kwiatkowski et al. (2009). Vance et al. (2009) demonstrated that wildtype endogenous FUS is predominantly localized to the nucleus. FUS mutations caused subcellular mislocalization with protein retention in the cytoplasm. Kwiatkowski et al. (2009) and Vance et al. (2009) estimated the frequency of FUS mutations to be about 5% in familial ALS. </p><p>Corrado et al. (2010) identified 7 different missense mutations, including 6 novel mutations, in the FUS gene (see, e.g., 137070.0006 and 137070.0007) in 9 of 1,009 Italian patients with ALS, including 964 patients with sporadic disease. Two of the 9 patients with an FUS mutation had a family history of the disorder. In addition, 8 different deletions and 2 insertions were identified in 2 glycine-rich regions in exons 5 and 6, but these were also found in controls and believed to represent triplet repeat length polymorphisms. Overall, pathogenic FUS mutations were found in 0.7% of sporadic and 4.4% of familial ALS in this population. </p><p>Hewitt et al. (2010) identified a heterozygous mutation in the FUS gene (137070.0008) in 2 (5%) of 42 patients with familial ALS. A different heterozygous mutation (137070.0006) was identified in 1 of 548 patients with sporadic ALS. Both mutations were located in the C-terminal region of the protein, which is important in regulating DNA and RNA binding. Hewitt et al. (2010) postulated that disruption of this region may disrupt subcellular distribution of FUS, in turn affecting transcription and RNA processing and conferring a toxic gain of function. </p><p>Millecamps et al. (2010) identified 5 different FUS mutations in 7 (4.3%) of 162 French probands with familial ALS. All mutations were located in exon 15 of the FUS gene. One patient with a FUS mutation (R521C; 137070.0004) was also heterozygous for a mutation in the ANG gene (K17I; 105850.0002), which causes ALS9 (611895). Overall, FUS mutation carriers had an earlier age of disease onset and shorter life span compared to those with mutations in other ALS genes. </p><p>Waibel et al. (2010) identified 2 different heterozygous mutations in the FUS gene (see, e.g., R495X; 137070.0009) in 4 (6.8%) of 58 German families with ALS. No FUS mutations were found in 133 patients with sporadic disease. The authors sequenced only the C-terminal region of the gene encompassing exons 13 to 15. </p><p>Yan et al. (2010) identified 16 heterozygous FUS mutations, including 11 novel mutations (see, e.g., G206S; 137070.0010), in 25 (5.6%) of 476 patients with familial ALS who did not have mutations in the SOD1 (147450) or TARDBP (605078) genes. All exons in the FUS gene were screened, but 12 of the 16 mutations were found in exons 14 and 15. No mutations were found in 41 patients with sporadic ALS. </p><p>Deng et al. (2010) studied postmortem spinal cord sections from 52 patients with sporadic ALS (SALS), 16 with familial ALS (FALS), 10 with ALS with dementia, and 11 with frontotemporal lobar degeneration (FTLD). Only 1 of the patients had an FUS mutation, and 4 had an SOD1 (147450) mutation. FUS-immunoreactivity was found in some of the surviving spinal motor neurons of all 52 patients with SALS, in 12 SOD1-negative FALS patients, and in 10 ALS with dementia patients. None of the 4 patients with SOD1 mutations had FUS-immunoreactive inclusions. The FUS-positive inclusions were skein-like and were found in the cytoplasm of large anterior horn neurons and their neurites. FUS-positive inclusions colocalized with ubiquitin (UBB; 191339) and p62 (601530), as well as with TDP43 (605078). Nine patients with FTLD had rare FUS-, UBB-, and TDP43-positive inclusions. Two patients with atypical FTLD also had FUS-positive inclusions, but these inclusions were negative for TDP43. The findings suggested that posttranslational modification of FUS is involved in a wider range of neurodegenerative disorders than FUS-related ALS, and also suggested that SOD1-related ALS has a distinct pathogenic pathway. </p><p>Ataxin-2 (ATXN2; 601517) is a polyglutamine protein that normally contains 22 repeats, but it contains 34 or more repeats in spinocerebellar ataxia-2 (SCA2; 183090). Intermediate repeat lengths (27 to 33) are associated with increased risk of ALS (see ALS13; 183090). Farg et al. (2013) found that ataxin-2 with 31 repeats (Q31) interacted with wildtype FUS and, more strongly, with FUS containing the R521C or arg521-to-his (R521H; 137070.0005) mutations. The interactions were independent of RNA. Western blot analysis revealed at least 3 low molecular mass FUS species (about 40 to 60 kD) in ALS patient tissues that did not coprecipitate with ataxin-2. Ataxin-2 colocalized with FUS in sporadic and FUS-linked familial ALS patient motor neurons, coprecipitated with FUS in ALS spinal cord lysates, and colocalized with FUS in the ER and Golgi compartments in a mouse neuronal cell line. Ataxin-2 Q31 exacerbated the cellular phenotype of mutant FUS, increasing translocation of FUS from the nucleus to the cytoplasm, markers of ER stress, and Golgi fragmentation. Neither FUS with the R521H mutation nor ataxin-2 Q31 alone induced apoptosis in transfected mouse neuronal cells, but coexpression of both induced markers of early apoptosis. </p><p>Vance et al. (2013) found that FUS proteins with ALS-linked mutations in the C-terminal nuclear localization signal accumulated in the cytoplasm of transfected cells and patient fibroblasts. Mutant, but not wildtype, FUS localized to cytoplasmic stress granules and interacted with the stress granule protein PABP (PABPC1; 604679) in an RNA-dependent manner. Addition of the wildtype C-terminal nuclear localization signal to full-length mutant FUS restored predominant nuclear localization. Sodium arsenite-induced oxidative stress caused formation of PABP-positive stress granules, with sequestration of mutant, but not wildtype, FUS to stress granules. Mutant FUS also interacted with wildtype FUS in an RNA-independent manner, and this interaction resulted in mislocalization of the wildtype protein to stress granules. Vance et al. (2013) hypothesized that FUS may function in shuttling nuclear RNA to cytoplasmic stress granules for degradation and that elevated cytoplasmic mutant FUS interferes with RNA processing. </p><p>Using a bioinformatics approach combined with in vitro cellular expression studies, Rebelo et al. (2016) identified FUS as a gene with the potential to cause abnormal and toxic protein aggregations as a result of a stop-loss mutation, i.e., a mutation that extends the 3-prime translation frame beyond the normal stop codon, resulting in the addition of cryptic amyloidogenic elements (CAE). Although this type of mutation had not yet been reported in FUS, neuronal cells expressing such frameshift FUS mutations showed prominent toxic protein aggregations in the cytoplasm and in neuronal projections, indicating that they would be pathogenic and thus could likely result in neurologic disorders. A similar gain-of-function mechanism was observed for frameshift mutations in the neurofilament genes NEFH (162230) and NEFL (162280). </p><p><strong><em>Hereditary Essential Tremor 4</em></strong></p><p>
In affected members of a large family with hereditary essential tremor-4 (ETM4; 614782), Merner et al. (2012) identified a heterozygous mutation in the FUS gene (Q290X; 137070.0011) that segregated with the disorder in all patients who were determined to be 'definitely' or 'probably' affected. However, only 54% of those who were 'possibly' affected carried the mutation, and 1 unaffected individual who was 24 years old carried the mutation. The mutation was found by exome sequencing. The Q290X mutation was demonstrated to result in nonsense-mediated mRNA decay. Sequencing the FUS gene in 270 additional probands with essential tremor found that 3 patients had 2 different heterozygous mutations (R216C, 137070.0007 and P431L, 137070.0012). Two of these patients had a family history of the disorder, but family members were not available for study. ETM4 patient lymphoblastoid cells with the FUS mutations showed significantly lower overall expression of mutant FUS mRNA compared to cells from patients with ALS6 due to FUS mutations. In addition, ETM4 cells with the mutations showed a significant increase in FUS mRNA expression after treatment with the translation inhibitor puromycin, which was not seen with ALS6 FUS mutations. These findings indicated that truncating FUS mutations in ETM4 are associated with nonsense-mediated mRNA decay, whereas mutant FUS from ALS6 cells appear to escape nonsense-mediated mRNA decay. Thus, ETM4 may be due to loss of FUS function, whereas ALS6 may result from a toxic gain-of-function effect. </p>

<p>The FUS protein contains an RNA-recognition motif and is a component of nuclear riboprotein complexes. FUS resembles a transcription factor in that it binds DNA, contributes a transcriptional activation domain to the FUS/ERG oncoprotein, and interacts with several transcription factors in vitro. By examining the consequences of Fus disruption in mice, Hicks et al. (2000) found that Fus was essential for viability of neonatal animals, influenced lymphocyte development in a non-cell-intrinsic manner, had an intrinsic role in the proliferative responses of B cells to specific mitogenic stimuli, and was required for the maintenance of genomic stability. The involvement of a nuclear riboprotein in these processes in vivo indicated that Fus is important in genome maintenance. </p><p>Shelkovnikova et al. (2013) generated transgenic mice expressing a truncated FUS protein (FUS1-359) that was predominantly cytoplasmic, highly aggregate-prone, and lacking a region responsible for RNA recognition and binding. Hemizygous mutant mice were indistinguishable from wildtype controls until age 2.5 to 4.5 months when they abruptly developed severe progressive motor dysfunction and died. Immunohistochemical analysis of the central nervous system of the mutant mice demonstrated that the truncated protein had rapidly aggregated and was able to seed aggregation of wildtype FUS protein. Additional analyses showed that the aggregation of FUS was sufficient to recapitulate the motor pathology of ALS in the mutant mice. </p><p>Shiihashi et al. (2016) created transgenic mice expressing neuronal-targeted human FUS that lacked its C-terminal nuclear localization signal (delta-NLS-FUS). Transgenic mice were born at the expected mendelian ratio and appeared normal in weight and behavior at birth. Delta-NLS-FUS was expressed exclusively in the cytoplasm in cortex and pyramidal tract of transgenic animals and accumulated in ubiquitin-positive inclusions. Expression of delta-NLS-FUS did not alter the amount or nuclear localization of endogenous mouse Fus. At 48 weeks, delta-NLS-FUS mice developed an abnormal hindlimb reflex and progressive motor weakness, prior to noticeable neuronal loss, which occurred at approximately 1 year. Cytoplasmic delta-NLS-FUS progressively reduced the number of nuclear Gemini of coiled bodies (GEMs) in cortical neurons, but not in spinal motor neurons. RNA sequence analysis revealed that delta-NLS-FUS altered expression of hundreds of genes, notably those regulating dynein-associated molecules and endoplasmic reticulum stress. Coexpression of human TDP43 (TARDBP; 605078) did not affect total neuronal content of TDP43 (exogenous plus endogenous), but exacerbated the phenotype of delta-NLS-FUS transgenic mice. </p><p>Lopez-Erauskin et al. (2018) generated FUS mice expressing full-length human FUS and found that when expressed at near endogenous mouse FUS levels, both wildtype and ALS-causing and frontotemporal dementia (FTD)-causing mutations (R521C and R521H) complemented the essential functions of mouse FUS. However, replacement of mouse FUS with only mutant human FUS resulted in stress-mediated induction of chaperones, decreased expression of ion channels and transporters essential for synaptic function, and reduced synaptic activity without loss of nuclear FUS or its cytoplasmic aggregation. The integrated stress response induced in mutant FUS impaired local protein synthesis within axons. ALS/FTD-linked FUS mutant mice developed progressive neurodegeneration, with age-dependent motor deficits and cognitive and memory deficits accompanied by astrogliosis, microgliosis, and loss of synapses in the hippocampus. </p>

One of the patients had a family history of the disorder, but family members were not available for study. The mutation disrupts a CpG site, which may cause an epigenetic effect on gene expression through changes in methylation. ETM4 patient lymphoblastoid cells showed significantly lower overall expression of mutant FUS mRNA than did cells from patients with ALS due to FUS mutations. In addition, ETM4 cells with the R216C mutation showed a significant increase in FUS mRNA expression after treatment with the translation inhibitor puromycin. </p>

One of the patients had onset of a progressive muscular atrophy variant of motor neuron disease with upper limb onset at the age of 61 years. His brother presented with a similar pattern of disease at age 58, but DNA was not available. Postmortem examination of the first patient showed marked depletion of lower motor neurons with glial cytoplasmic and nuclear inclusions that stained for p62 (SQSTM1; 601530). There was FUS staining predominantly in the nucleus of neurons and glia, with some lower motor neurons showing strong cytoplasmic FUS expression. An affected brother and sister with the R524W mutation had classic limb-onset ALS. </p>

<p>In 3 affected members of a German family with amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS6; 608030), Waibel et al. (2010) identified a heterozygous 1483C-T transition in exon 14 of the FUS gene, resulting in an arg495-to-ter (R495X) substitution predicted to produced a truncated protein lacking the nuclear localization sequence. The age at onset ranged from 31 to 36 years, with rapid disease progression leading to death 12 to 18 months later. All presented with bulbar signs and symptoms and had predominantly lower motor signs. None had dementia. </p><p>Yan et al. (2010) identified heterozygosity for the R495X mutation in a Caucasian family with ALS6. There was wide phenotypic variability: the age at onset ranged from 24 to 44 years in 4 mutation carriers, and 2 mutation carriers were unaffected at age 57 and 61 years, respectively. One mutation carrier had onset at age 14 years, and postmortem analysis was consistent with Fazio-Londe disease (211500). </p><p>Bosco et al. (2010) reported a 5-generation family with 8 affected members with early-onset ALS caused by the R495X mutation, which led to a relatively severe ALS clinical phenotype compared with FUS missense mutations. Expression of R495X FUS, which abrogates a putative nuclear localization signal at the C terminus of FUS, in HEK-293 cells and in the zebrafish spinal cord caused a striking cytoplasmic accumulation of the protein to a greater extent than that observed for recessive (H517Q; 137070.0001) and dominant (R521G; 137070.0002) missense mutants. In response to oxidative stress or heat-shock conditions in cultures and in vivo, the ALS-linked FUS mutants, but not wildtype FUS, assembled into perinuclear stress granules in proportion to their cytoplasmic expression levels. The authors proposed a potential link between FUS mutations and cellular pathways involved in stress responses that may be relevant to altered motor neuron homeostasis in ALS. </p>

<p>In affected members of a large family with hereditary essential tremor-4 (ETM4; 614782), Merner et al. (2012) identified a heterozygous 868C-T transition in exon 9 of the FUS gene, resulting in a gln290-to-ter (Q290X) substitution in the nuclear export signal motif. The mutation segregated with the disorder in all patients who were determined to be 'definitely' or 'probably' affected. However, only 54% of those who were 'possibly' affected carried the mutation, and 1 unaffected individual who was 24 years old also carried the mutation. The mutation, which was found by exome sequencing and confirmed by Sanger sequencing, was not found in 450 controls or in a large exome database. Studies of patient lymphoblastoid cells showed that the mutant mRNA was degraded by nonsense-mediated mRNA decay, resulting in haploinsufficiency. ETM4 patient lymphoblastoid cells showed significantly lower overall expression of mutant FUS mRNA than did cells from patients with ALS6 due to FUS mutations. None of the patients over the age of onset of amyotrophic lateral sclerosis had signs of that disorder. </p>

To ensure long-term funding for the OMIM project, we have diversified
our revenue stream. We are determined to keep this website freely
accessible. Unfortunately, it is not free to produce. Expert curators
review the literature and organize it to facilitate your work. Over 90%
of the OMIM's operating expenses go to salary support for MD and PhD
science writers and biocurators. Please join your colleagues by making a
donation now and again in the future. Donations are an important
component of our efforts to ensure long-term funding to provide you the
information that you need at your fingertips.
