Abstract

The low-complexity domain (LCD) of the FUS protein forms concentration-dependent assemblies, including liquid droplets and fibril-based hydrogels. The molecular structures of FUS within different assemblies and their functional relevance are subjects of intense debate. Murray et al. report an atomic-level structural model for FUS LCD fibrils that answers some questions and raises new ones.
