    FUS regulates RAN translation through modulating the G-quadruplex structure of GGGGCC repeat RNA in C9orf72-linked ALS/FTD

    Yuzo Fujino, Morio Ueyama ... Yoshitaka Nagai
    Alteration of the G-quadruplex structure formed by GGGGCC repeat RNA through the direct interaction with RNA-binding proteins can suppress pathogenic repeat-associated non-AUG translation, leading to therapeutic effects on neurodegeneration in C9orf72-linked amyotrophic lateral sclerosis and frontotemporal dementia.
