Journal ArticleDOI
Competing Protein-RNA Interaction Networks Control Multiphase Intracellular Organization
David W. Sanders,Nancy Kedersha,Daniel S.W. Lee,Amy R. Strom,Victoria Drake,Joshua A. Riback,Dan Bracha,Jorine M. Eeftens,Allana Iwanicki,Alicia Wang,Ming-Tzo Wei,Gena Whitney,Shawn M. Lyons,Paul A. Anderson,William M. Jacobs,Pavel Ivanov,Clifford P. Brangwynne,Clifford P. Brangwynne +17 more
TL;DR: Inspired by patchy colloid theory, this work proposes a general framework by which competing networks give rise to compositionally specific and tunable condensates, while relative linkage between nodes underlies multiphase organization.
Journal ArticleDOI
The liquid nucleome - phase transitions in the nucleus at a glance.
TL;DR: How membrane-less compartments in the nucleus are formed by phase separation and help to organize and regulate nuclear functions is discussed.
Journal ArticleDOI
Nucleated transcriptional condensates amplify gene expression.
Ming-Tzo Wei,Yi-Che Chang,Shunsuke F. Shimobayashi,Yongdae Shin,Yongdae Shin,Amy R. Strom,Clifford P. Brangwynne,Clifford P. Brangwynne +7 more
TL;DR: It is found that TAF15 has a unique charge distribution among the FET family members that enhances its interactions with the C-terminal domain of RNA polymerase II, suggesting that positive feedback between interacting transcriptional components drives localized phase separation to amplify gene expression.
Journal ArticleDOI
The composition and organization of Drosophila heterochromatin are heterogeneous and dynamic.
Joel M Swenson,Serafin U Colmenares,Amy R. Strom,Amy R. Strom,Sylvain V. Costes,Gary H. Karpen,Gary H. Karpen +6 more
TL;DR: It is concluded that heterochromatin composition and architecture is more spatially complex and dynamic than previously suggested, and proposed that a network of subdomains regulates diverse heterochROMatin functions.
Journal ArticleDOI
Hp1α is a chromatin crosslinker that controls nuclear and mitotic chromosome mechanics
Amy R. Strom,Ronald J Biggs,Edward J. Banigan,Xiaotao Wang,Katherine Chiu,Cameron Herman,Jimena Collado,Feng Yue,Joan C. Ritland Politz,Leah J Tait,David Scalzo,Agnes Telling,Mark Groudine,Clifford P. Brangwynne,John F. Marko,Andrew D. Stephens +15 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors used a novel HP1α auxin-inducible degron human cell line to rapidly degrade HP 1α (CBX5) and found that HP 1 α is essential to chromatin-based mechanics and maintains nuclear morphology.
