Zinc finger proteins: getting a grip on RNA

RS Brown - Current opinion in structural biology, 2005 - Elsevier
C2H2 (Cys-Cys-His-His motif) zinc finger proteins are members of a large superfamily of

Stress granules in neurodegeneration–lessons learnt from TAR DNA binding protein of 43 kDa and fused in sarcoma

E Bentmann, C Haass, D Dormann - The FEBS journal, 2013 - Wiley Online Library
Stress granules (SG s) are cytoplasmic foci that rapidly form when cells are exposed to
stress. They transiently store m RNA s encoding house‐keeping proteins and allow the …

A unified mechanism for LLPS of ALS/FTLD-causing FUS as well as its modulation by ATP and oligonucleic acids

J Kang, L Lim, Y Lu, J Song - PLoS biology, 2019 - journals.plos.org

Nucleic acid-binding specificity of human FUS protein

X Wang, JC Schwartz, TR Cech - Nucleic acids research, 2015 - academic.oup.com
FUS, a nuclear RNA-binding protein, plays multiple roles in RNA processing. Five specific
FUS-binding RNA sequence/structure motifs have been proposed, but their affinities for FUS …

TLS facilitates transport of mRNA encoding an actin-stabilizing protein to dendritic spines

R Fujii, T Takumi - Journal of cell science, 2005 - journals.biologists.com
TLS (translocation in liposarcoma), an RNA-binding protein, was originally identified as a
heterogeneous ribonuclear protein (hnRNP). Recently, we showed that TLS is localized in …
