Figure 2

FUS mutations cause an aberrant subcellular redistribution in mouse neurons. A representative immunoblot (A) of the V5 tagged FUS proteins extracted from AAV injected mouse brains. Tissue extracts from FUSWT, FUSR521C, and FUSΔ14 brain were separated into soluble fractions from the cytoplasm and nucleus. Histone 3 staining was used as a nuclear marker to verify extraction fidelity. (B) The ratio of cytoplasmic FUS to nuclear FUS was calculated based on quantification of immunoblots for different FUS constructs (n=4; S.E.M.). A higher ratio of FUSR521C and FUSΔ14 are found in the cytoplasm. ** P<0.01 and ***P<0.001. (C) FUSR521C and FUSΔ14 protein are more insoluble than FUSWT.
