FUS(fused in sarcoma)は、ヒトではFUS遺伝子にコードされるタンパク質である。TLS(translocated in liposarcoma)、hnRNP P2(heterogeneous nuclear ribonucleoprotein P2)としても知られる[5][6][7][8][9][10]。
In vitroでは、FUS/TLSはRNA、一本鎖DNA、そして(低い親和性で)二本鎖DNAに結合することが示されている[7][9][18][19][20][21]。FUS/TLSのRNAやDNAへの結合の配列特異性ははっきりしていないが、SELEX法(英語版)では、FUS/TLSが結合するRNA配列の約半数に共通するGGUGモチーフが同定されている[22]。GGUGモチーフはRRMではなく、ジンクフィンガードメインによって認識されていることが後に提唱されている。さらに、FUS/TLSはアクチン安定化タンパク質Nd1-LのmRNAの3' UTR上の比較的長い領域に結合することが知られており、特定の短い配列を認識するのではなく、複数のモチーフや二次構造と相互作用することが示唆されている[23]。FUS/TLSはin vitroではヒトのテロメアRNA(UUAGGG)4や一本鎖テロメアDNAにも結合する[24]。
