Project description:Individuals with the ALS-linked (amyotrophic lateral sclerosis) truncation mutation (R495X) in FUS (fused in sarcoma) are known to have a more aggressive form of the disease than those with point mutations. The underlying cause for this difference is unclear. We report that FUS is a component of miRISC (miRNA-induced silencing complex) and that overexpression of its truncation mutant R495X negatively impacts miRNA mediated RNA silencing. In this study, we compared the impact overexpression of wild-type myc-tagged FUS versus truncation mutant R495X has on global gene expression.

Project description:The protein Fused in Sarcoma undergoes liquid-liquid phase separation. To investigate whether this phase transition alters the RNA interactome we purified phase-separated FUS droplets and soluble FUS from HEK 293T cells transfected with GFP-tagged WT FUS or P525L FUS. Phase separated FUS was purified by fluorescence-activated particle sorting (droplets) and soluble FUS by co-Immunoprecipitation (IP) respectively followed by isolation of co-purified RNA. Here we show that phase separation affects the RNA interactome of FUS.
Project description:Methylome data obtained from human embryonic kindey (HEK)-293T cells expressing a GFP (293T-GFP) or a truncated form of Arabidopsis DEMETER (DME) 5-methylcytosine (5mC) DNA glycosylase (293T-DMEΔ) analyzed on a Human Methylation 450K BeadChip platform (Illumina). These methylation array data revealed genome-wide DNA methylation patterns of the 293T-GFP cells (without direct 5mC excision activity) and 293T-DMEΔ cells (with artificially implemented direct 5mC excision activity).
