      • Alt-Fus
      Background InformationAltFus (UniProt: A0A823ADP9; also known as Alt-Fus) is encoded by the FUS gene (Gene ID: 2521) in human. FUS is a nuclear RNA-binding protein with a C-terminal nuclear localization signal. It is involved in RNA processing, DNA repair, and cell proliferation. FUS is a dual coding gene that also codes for altFUS, a highly conserved, 170 amino acid protein that is endogenously expressed in many cell lines and tissues, including the motor cortex and motor neurons. Higher expression of FUS as well as altFUS contribute to neuronal toxicity. AltFUS is embedded within the FUS gene coding sequence. It is mainly a mitochondrial protein, but a weak cytoplasmic signal is also detected. Cells overexpressing altFUS display altered mitochondrial network, with a higher number of fragmented mitochondria. It can also lead to a loss in mitochondrial potential and accumulation of cytoplasmic aggregates. AltFUS is reported to inhibit autophagy and drive the accumulation of FUS- and TDP43-positive cytoplasmic aggregates. Suppression of its expression in a Drosophila model of FUS-related toxicity is shown to protect against neurodegeneration. (Ref.: Brunet, MA., et al. (3021). EMBO Rep. 22; e50640).
