[NMR paper] Structural biology of RNA-binding proteins in the context of phase separation: What NMR and EPR can bring?
Structural biology of RNA-binding proteins in the context of phase separation: What NMR and EPR can bring?
Liquid-liquid phase separation of RNA-binding proteins underlies the formation of membraneless organelles, whose composition is dynamic and whose existence may be transient. These organelles are involved in regulation of RNA processing and translation and, if they behave abnormally, in pathologies. Because disorder phenomena are essential in their formation and dynamics, established methodology is insufficient for characterizing their structure. In this review, we consider the current...

[NMR paper] Interaction hot spots for phase separation revealed by NMR studies of a CAPRIN1 condensed phase
Interaction hot spots for phase separation revealed by NMR studies of a CAPRIN1 condensed phase
The role of biomolecular condensates in regulating biological function and the importance of dynamic interactions involving intrinsically disordered protein regions (IDRs) in their assembly are increasingly appreciated. While computational and theoretical approaches have provided significant insights into IDR phase behavior, establishing the critical interactions that govern condensation with atomic resolution through experiment is more difficult, given the lack of applicability of standard...
