( A ) Dot plot representing significantly upregulated biological processes in senescent HT-1080 T cells upon treatment with GNF-7 (200nM, 6 h). The X-axis indicates the enrichment score (-Log10pvalue). For the analysis the top 100 hits sorted by False Discovery Rate (FDR) and with a positive log2FoldChange were selected. Senescence was induced by exposure to doxycycline (1μg/ml) for 6 days. ( B ) WB analysis of phosphorylated GCN2 (pGCN2) and CHOP levels in proliferating and senescent HT’1080 cells. GNF-7 was used at the indicated concentrations for 3 h. Senescence was induced by palbociclib (5 μM) for 7 days. ( C ) Heatmap representing the EGFP median fluorescence intensity in DLD-1-CHOP EGFP cells after treatment with the indicated drugs for 24 h. Cells were infected with mCherry-expressing <t>lentiviral</t> vectors carrying sgRNAs to target the four ISR kinases. Control cells were infected with the empty vector. EGFP MFI ratios between mCherry-positive (KO) and negative (WT) cells were calculated and normalized to the control levels for each treatment: untreated, Tigecycline 10 μM, Neratinib 500 nM and GNF-7 200 nM.

The three normal RNA‐binding FET proteins consist of N‐terminal repetitive and structurally disordered domains (NTD: N‐terminal domain), central RNA‐binding domains (RRM: RNA recognition motifs), zinc finger domains (ZF), and degenerated repeat regions (RGG: RGG repeat regions). The GST‐tagged FET‐NTD baits shown were used for pulldown experiments and represent the shortest parts commonly present in the FET fusion oncoproteins. The FET‐binding motif is a conserved sequence required for complex formation between the three FET proteins. Amino acid numbers are indicated. Schematic illustration of a representative FET fusion protein (FUS‐DDIT3 type II) and its parental proteins. DBD: DNA‐binding domain, LZ: leucine zipper domain. Type I and type II show locations of the two most common MLS fusion breakpoints in FUS. Coomassie staining of SDS–PAGE‐separated pulldown samples with/without cell extracts (C.E) using GST‐tagged FET‐NTDs as baits. Sepharose with bound GST was included as control. Background from recombinant protein baits (shown by white arrowheads) as well as smaller partial recombinant products is visualized in the left panel (C.E −). Several high‐molecular‐weight proteins are retained by the FET‐NTDs (C.E +). Black arrowheads indicate protein bands and gel parts analyzed by mass spectrometry (see also <xref ref-type=Table EV1 ). Immunoblot analysis (IB) of pulldown samples with FET‐NTD baits with/without cell extracts (C.E). Antibodies against ARID1A, BRG1, and BAF60A were used for detection of SWI/SNF components. Input samples diluted 1:5 were included as a control. In situ proximity ligation assays (PLA) using antibodies against BRG1, ARID1A, DDIT3, and C‐terminal parts of normal FUS show protein complexes containing FUS/BRG1, FUS/ARID1A, FUS‐DDIT3/BRG1, and FUS‐DDIT3/ARID1A as red fluorescent spots in nuclei of MLS cell lines 2645‐94 and 402‐91.

Immunoblot analysis (IB) of histone modifications in stably transfected HT1080 cell lines expressing EGFP, FUS‐DDIT3‐EGFP, or EWSR1‐FLI1‐EGFP. Antibodies against H3K27Ac, H3K27me3, H3K4me3, and histone loading control H4 for detection of histone modifications and antibodies against EZH2 and loading control GAPDH to evaluate catalytic PRC2 amount. Immunoblot analysis with GFP antibody is shown to verify expression of FET fusion oncoproteins and EGFP. One representative immunoblot is shown. More immunoblots including a second stable biological replicate and analysis of histone modifications after transient transfection (24 and 48 h) are shown in Fig A–D. Graphs showing amount of protein (H3K27me3, H3K4me3, ratio H3K27me3/H3K4me3, H3K27Ac, and EZH2) quantified from immunoblots relative each corresponding loading control H4 or GAPDH, normalized to parental HT1080. Mean ± SEM is shown with individual replicates indicated by circles from two experiments with stable transfection (see Figs A, and A and F) and by squares from two experiments with transient transfection (24 and 48 h, see Fig B and G), n = 4. Student's t ‐test, ns = not significant, * P < 0.05, ** P < 0.01, *** P < 0.001. Original data for all quantifications, including P ‐values, are shown as source data. SWI/SNF opposes the polycomb complex PRC2. The catalytic subunit of PRC2, EZH2, catalyzes the trimethylation of Lys27 on histone H3 (H3K27me3), a chromatin modification associated with closed chromatin, leading to downregulation of polycomb‐regulated genes. FET fusion binding to SWI/SNF might compromise the function of SWI/SNF, including polycomb opposition. In particular, genes downregulated when FUS‐DDIT3 is overexpressed in HT1080 cells (RNA‐seq data, n = 3, compared to control, n = 4) overlap with upregulated gene‐sets after EZH2 knockdown, NIPP1 knockdown and HDAC knockdown, and BAF57 (SMARCE1) reconstitution in a SMARCE1 null cell line. RNA‐seq data of HT1080 wt ( n = 4), HT1080 EGFP ( n = 4), HT1080 FUS‐DDIT3‐EGFP ( n = 3), and HT1080 EWSR1‐FLI1‐EGFP ( n = 4) were generated and genes > twofold regulated were analyzed using the molecular signature database (MSigDB). Gene lists were compared to the gene‐set collection “chemical and genetic perturbations” and top 20 gene‐sets for each comparison are shown in the source data. q ‐values (FDR‐adjusted P ‐values) are indicated in parentheses. Schematic presentation of FET family of fusion oncoproteins, targeted DNA sequences, and associated tumors. Left: FET N‐terminal fusion partners and binding to SWI/SNF. Center: C‐terminal transcription factor fusion partners and their DNA target sequences (JASPAR database). Right: Tumor types caused by respective fusion oncogene. Note tumor type specificity for each fusion oncoprotein and that the FET‐NTDs replace each other as fusion partners in some entities. Only a selection of the FET family fusion oncoproteins and tumors is shown as more members are continuously discovered. Source data are available online for this figure.
