Abstract
Significance Mutations in TAR-DNA binding protein 43 (TDP-43), an RNA-binding protein (RBP) with multiple functions in RNA metabolism, cause amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS), but it is uncertain how defects in RNA biology cause disease. Purified RNA-binding protein FUS and heterogeneous nuclear ribonucleoprotein A1 (hnRNP A1) form liquid droplets in vitro through liquid–liquid phase separation. However, the biophysical properties of...
