The FUS-DDIT3 Interactome in Myxoid Liposarcoma.

ABSTRACT: Myxoid liposarcoma is a malignant lipogenic tumor that develops in deep soft tissues. While local control rates are good, current chemotherapy options remain ineffective against metastatic disease. Myxoid liposarcoma is characterized by the FUS-DDIT3 fusion oncoprotein that is proposed to function as an aberrant transcription factor, but its exact mechanism of action has remained unclear. To identify the key functional interacting partners of FUS-DDIT3, this study utilized immunoprecipitation-mass spectrometry (IP-MS) to identify the FUS-DDIT3 interactome in whole cell lysates of myxoid liposarcoma cells, and results showed an enrichment of RNA processing proteins. Further quantitative MS analyses of FUS-DDIT3 complexes isolated from nuclear lysates showed that members of several chromatin
