Distinct and shared functions of ALS-associated proteins TDP-43, FUS and TAF15 revealed by multisystem analyses

Abnormal functions of RNA-binding proteins TAF15, FUS and TDP43 are associated with amyotrophic lateral sclerosis. Here, Kapeli et al. characterize the RNA targets of TAF15 and identify points of convergence and divergence between the targets of TAF15, FUS and TDP43 in several neuronal systems.
