Regulation of transcription termination by FUS and TDP-43

Dorothy Yanling Zhao, Syed Nabeel‐Shah, Zuyao Ni, Shuye Pu, Guoqing Zhong, Frank W. Schmitges, Ulrich Braunschweig, Benjamin J. Blencowe, Jack F. Greenblatt

This study shows that TDP-43 and FUS are recruited by the R1810me2s-SMN pathway, and their defects affect RNAPII termination and R-loop accumulation, contributing to neurodegenerative disorders.
