Molecular structure and interactions within amyloid-like fibrils formed by a low-complexity protein sequence from FUS

The low-complexity (LC) domain mediates liquid-liquid phase separation and fibril formation of the RNA-binding protein FUS (FUsed in Sarcoma). Here, the authors combine cryo-EM, solid-state NMR measurements and MD simulations to structurally characterise the fibrils formed by the C-terminal half of...

Sumario:The low-complexity (LC) domain mediates liquid-liquid phase separation and fibril formation of the RNA-binding protein FUS (FUsed in Sarcoma). Here, the authors combine cryo-EM, solid-state NMR measurements and MD simulations to structurally characterise the fibrils formed by the C-terminal half of the FUS LC domain and discuss stabilizing interactions within the fibril core.
