Protein: RNA-binding protein FUS (Protein pigpen) (P56959)
Organism: Mus musculus (Mouse)
Function: DNA/RNA-binding protein that plays a role in various cellular processes such as transcription regulation, RNA splicing, RNA transport, DNA repair and damage response. Binds to nascent pre-mRNAs and acts as a molecular mediator between RNA polymerase II and U1 small nuclear ribonucleoprotein thereby coupling transcription and splicing. Binds also its own pre-mRNA and autoregulates its expression; this autoregulation mechanism is mediated by non-sense-mediated decay. Plays a role in DNA repair mechanisms by promoting D-loop formation and homologous recombination during DNA double-strand break repair (By similarity). In neuronal cells, plays crucial roles in dendritic spine formation and stability, RNA transport, mRNA stability and synaptic homeostasis.
Subcellular location: Nucleus {ECO:0000250|UniProtKB:P35637}. Note=Displays a punctate pattern inside the nucleus and is excluded from nucleoli. {ECO:0000250|UniProtKB:P35637}.
