Congrats to the authors on a beautiful study! 🥳 Very elegant dissection of #LLPS by Rubisco inside the pyrenoid. Our Ape1’s linker is N-terminal, here it’s a separate protein—yet the physics feels strikingly similar. Cryo-ET of disordered networks is tough, but that’s why this work is so impressive.
Happy to share our deep characterization of #LLPS events modulating the DNA damage response (#DDR) through #53BP1 condensation promoted by #dincRNA

What a great collaboration this has been!
Catching up after not being too active recently:
In one of our most #interdisciplinary #multimodal research articles published last year, we demonstrated that #LLPS #condensate dysregulation is very widespread in somatic #cancer. We also provided mechanistic explanations for #oncofusion #proteins.
Really valuable #preprint on biological #condensates, with some welcome terminological clarity:“Some papers equate condensates with #LLPS, but it is often neither clear whether the involved objects have liquid-like properties…nor whether they actually form by phase separation.”👏👇
Captured a very obvious phase separation and fusion process (nuclear localization of tobacco cells)

🧬 📰 In a News & Views article published in @nataging.nature.com, Prof. Nektarios Tavernarakis discusses the discovery of specialized mRNA translation hubs that form by #LLPS on the surface of #mitochondria to supply key proteins on-site, thus, upholding mitochondrial integrity and function.

You may have noticed the C2A and C2A-B linker domains are not resolved in the average. The reason we found in the linker sequence. They are intrinsically disordered regions (IDRs): glycine-rich, polyampholytic and predicted to be highly prone to phase-separate.

Please share …. 🙏
📣 Very soon, we’ll have an open PhD position starting in fall 2025 — this time not on cilia, but on YAP & TAZ in podocytes and their regulation via LLPS. Interested candidates are welcome to contact us directly.

BRD4-NUT forms liquid-like condensates that locally constrain nucleosomes via BRD4-mediated crosslinking— physical control of #chromatin by #LLPS transcription condensates. @semeigazin.bsky.social @katsuminami.bsky.social @masaashimazoe.bsky.social
Diagram of how intrinsically disordered proteins and phase-separated condensates coordinate presynaptic active zone structure and function. The presynaptic terminal organizes neurotransmission through dynamic and spatially structured protein assemblies. Synaptic vesicles (SVs) are distributed between a docked pool at the AZ and a reserve pool. Precise coupling between docked SVs and voltage-gated calcium channels enables rapid release, a process supported by an underlying AZ scaffold. Jin and colleagues propose that scaffold components, including Liprin-α and RIM, through their multifaceted intermolecular interaction, assemble into condensates via liquid-liquid phase separation (LLPS) that organize the molecular and functional architecture of the AZ. These dynamic assemblies help cluster SV release machinery while remaining responsive to synaptic activity. Thus, LLPS-driven Liprin-α/RIM condensates not only scaffold presynaptic architecture but also fine-tune vesicle priming and release dynamics. Created with BioRender.com.

Development of #drugs that modulate #protein condensates is increasingly being seen as a route for #drugdevelopment.
Here, "protein condensate inhibitors" were developed to target cGAS benefitting from NanoTemper's Monolith X's in-solution binding affinity measurement to calculate their Kds

Hen and egg problem! If you look carefully into biological condensate literature you can find such sharp fronts, which went unnoticed - now we can explain this - and the importance can now be considered in biology.
