Figure 1 FUS Constructs, Cellular Localization, and Neurotoxicity of Mutant FUS (A) FUS constructs and mutations. Full-length FUS constructs include wild-type FUS(WT) and ALS/FTD mutations (R522G, R524S, P525L, and R495X), or FUS (FUS501), which mimics several ALS/FTD truncation mutants. LC motif at residues 2–214 was deleted in FUS(WT)ΔLC, FUS(P525L)ΔLC, and FUS501ΔLC. FUS(LC)-only constructs include wild-type FUS(LC), pathogenic S96del or G156E mutants, or clinically benign P21H and N63S sequences. LC, low-complexity motif; G-Rich, glycine-rich region; RRM, RNA recognition motif; RGG-rich, arginine-glycine-glycine-rich region. (B) FUS(WT) is located in neuronal nuclei; mutant FUS accumulates as 8 M urea-soluble assemblies in neuronal cytoplasm. Western blot of high-salt buffer extracted whole-worm lysates (top), 8 M urea extracted lysates (middle), and α-tubulin (bottom). (C) FUS LC domain is necessary and sufficient for FUS assembly and neurotoxicity. Deletion of LC domain from FUS(P525L) and FUS 501 reduces formation of 8 M urea-soluble FUS (left panel), improves motor function (middle panel), and lifespan in mutant FUS lines (right panel), but has no impact on FUS(WT) animals. N.S., not significant. ∗∗p < 0.01; ∗∗∗p < 0.001. (D) FUS LC domain is necessary and sufficient for FUS assembly and neurotoxicity. Overexpression of wild-type FUS(LC) alone is associated with increased 8 M urea-soluble assemblies (left panel), impaired motor function (middle panel), and lifespan (right panel). The ALS/FTD FUS(LC)-mutations (S96del and G156E) further augment neurotoxicity. ∗p < 0.05, ∗∗p < 0.01, and ∗∗∗p < 0.001. Error bars are SEM.

Figure 4 Recombinant FUS Generates Liquid Droplet-Like Assemblies, the Reversibility of which Is Reduced by ALS/FTD Mutants (A) (Left panel) SHSY5Y cells transiently transfected with YFP-tagged wild-type FUS show static intranuclear spherical structures. (Top) In the same cell type, mutant FUS localizes in the cytoplasm as mobile spherical structures (“droplets”) that move, fuse, and disappear (middle and bottom—time series of two fusion events). (Right panel) Cooling of 1–5 μM solutions of either full-length FUS or FUS(LC) domain, induces spontaneous phase transition into liquid droplets, which spontaneously fuse (∗), split over seconds, and redisperse into solute over ∼50 min. (B) Full-length FUS(WT) liquid droplets are more labile than full-length mutant FUS or FUS(LC) droplets. Both mutant and wild-type FUS proteins form multiple bright spherical liquid droplets after cooling (left column). FUS(WT) droplets almost completely disperse by 50 min at 23°C (right column). FUS proteins containing ALS/FTD mutants formed more stable droplets, many of which were still visible at 50 min at 23°C. The residual mutant assemblies had darkly refractile properties, angular edges, and/or spiculated appearances. We interpret these structures to represent further phase transitions to gel-like or solid assemblies. Spiculated assemblies were especially prevalent with the FUS(LC) constructs, where virtually all of the residual FUS(LC) material had this appearance (# in the graph). Error bars are SEM.

Figure 5 Recombinant FUS Generates Gel-Like Assemblies, the Reversibility of which Is Reduced by ALS/FTD Mutants (A) Purified recombinant FUS(LC) forms clear solution at 23°C (Top left panel) but forms reversible gel-like structures at 4°C (Top center panel). Rewarming to 23°C reverts FUS(LC) to a liquid state (top left panel). Repeated cycling of wild-type FUS(LC) eventually results in the formation of irreversible gels (top right panel). (B) ∼4 to 5 assembly/disassembly cycles can be achieved by wild-type FUS(LC) (black bar) and by FUS(LC) containing benign polymorphic variants (P21H and N63S, white bars). ALS/FTD mutations (gray bars) dramatically reduce the number of cycles to ≤1 before irreversibility (∗∗p < 0.01). (C) Top panel: Coomassie gel (left) and western blot (right) of RIPA- and 8 M urea solubilisation of FUS(LC) reveal that liquid state FUS(LC) is fully soluble in RIPA buffer. Irreversible FUS(LC) is partly soluble in RIPA, but fully soluble in 8 M urea. Bottom panel: Transmission electron microscopy of human FUS inclusions ([Ci]–[Civ]) and irreversible recombinant protein gels ([Cv]–[Cviii]). Both are composed of loose networks of ∼14 nm fibrils. Scale bars are 500 nm ([Cv] and [Cvi]) and 100 nm ([Cvii] and [Cviii]). (D) Analysis of liquid, reversible gel, and irreversible gel using fluorescent particle tracking revealed that liquid (left cluster) and reversible gels (black bars, middle cluster) have viscosities similar to those of P-granules. Mutant reversible gels (gray bars, middle cluster) were more viscous than wild-type reversible gels. Irreversible gels, regardless of whether made from wild-type or ALS/FTD mutant FUS exhibit very high viscosities. N.S., not significant; ∗∗p < 0.01. Error bars are SEM.

Figure 6 Mutant FUS Forms Poorly Reversible Gels, which Fail to Release Cargo such as SMN and STAU-1 (A) When recombinant GFP-tagged SMN (or STAU-1) protein is mixed with FUS(LC) protein and gel assembly is induced by cooling, little SMN (or STAU-1) is released into the buffer (as measured by fluorescence) regardless of whether the FUS gel is derived from wild-type or ALS/FTD mutant FUS(LC) (black bars). When the gel is reversed by warming to 23°C (white bars), significant SMN (or STAU-1) protein is released into the buffer from FUS(WT) hydrogels. Very little SMN (or STAU-1) is released by the irreversible ALS/FTD mutant FUS(LC) gels (gray bars;∗∗p < 0.001). (B) Fluorescent molecule tracking in liquid, reversible gel, and irreversible gel assemblies reveals that in liquid state, SMN and STAU-1 diffuse rapidly at 1–4 μm/s in both mutant and wild-type samples (left two columns). On formation of a gel (center two columns), movement of SMN and STAU-1 is constrained (<1 μm2/s). On rewarming, reversible FUS(WT) gels disassemble and release SMN and STAU-1. The irreversible mutant gels continue to constrain movement of SMN and STAU-1. Image stacks are captured at 29 Hz; pixel width corresponds to 160 nm on the specimen. Representative areas are boxed and visualized in a 1.3 μm2 plot, color coded to the diffusion coefficient fitted to each track. Error bars are SEM.

Figure 7 Mutant FUS and FUS(LC) Domain, but Not Full-Length Wild-Type FUS, Cause Reduced New Protein Synthesis When Expressed in Cultured Neurons (A) New protein synthesis was detected by puromycylation in axon terminals of cultured Xenopus retinal ganglion neurons (left panel: phase contrast; right panel: anti-puromycin fluorescent images) expressing equivalent quantities of full-length FUS(WT) or various mutant and truncated human FUS proteins. Scale bar, 10 μm. (B) Under basal conditions, de novo protein synthesis is equivalent in non-injected neurons, and in neurons expressing FUS(WT). However, de novo protein synthesis was significantly reduced in neurons expressing ALS/FTD mutants including: FUS(R522G), FUS(R524S), FUS501, FUS(R495X), and in gelling-prone FUS(LC)(WT), FUS(LC)(S96del), FUS(LC)(G156E), FUS(LC)(P21H), and FUS(LC)(N63S). In good agreement with the in vivo studies in C. elegans, heat shock causes significant reduction of new protein synthesis in neurons expressing mutant FUS, but minimal impact on non-transfected and FUS(WT) expressing neurons (right panel). N.S., not significant; ∗p < 0.05, ∗∗p < 0.01, and ∗∗∗p < 0.001. Error bars are SEM.

PERK1 inhibitors rescued reduced protein synthesis in thapsigargin-treated neurons expressing FUS(WT), but not mutant FUS-expressing neurons. Error bars are SEM.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
