Summary: Predicted to enable RNA binding activity and transcription coregulator activity. Predicted to be involved in regulation of DNA-templated transcription. Predicted to be active in nucleus. Is expressed in several structures, including gonad; head; intestine; pharynx; and tail. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in connective tissue cancer (multiple); essential tremor 4; and neurodegenerative disease (multiple). Orthologous to several human genes including FUS (FUS RNA binding protein). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Dec 2024]

Using a loss of function mutation, data show that fust-1 is a key gene acting to regulate neuronal integrity, lifespan and cellular stress responses. Also, for some of these functions, fust-1 is an active component of the insulin/IGF-like signaling pathway.
Title: FET proteins regulate lifespan and neuronal integrity.
ALS/FTD mutations in FUS induce phase transition into poorly soluble fibrillar hydrogels distinct from conventional amyloids. These assemblies are necessary and sufficient for neurotoxicity.
