Modulation of RNA Condensation by the DEAD-Box Protein eIF4A.

Reads0
Chats0
TLDR
An important role is established for eIF4A, and potentially other DEAD-box proteins, as ATP-dependent RNA chaperones that limit the condensation of RNA, analogous to the function of proteins like HSP70 in combatting protein aggregates.

Competing Protein-RNA Interaction Networks Control Multiphase Intracellular Organization

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.

Biomolecular condensates at the nexus of cellular stress, protein aggregation disease and ageing.

TL;DR: A review of the role of biomolecular condensates in ageing and disease can be found in this paper, where the authors discuss how cellular stress, ageing-related loss of homeostasis and a decline in protein quality control may contribute to the formation of aberrant, disease-causing condensate.

LNCcation: lncRNA localization and function.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors summarize current knowledge of long noncoding RNAs subcellular localization, factors controlling their localization, emerging themes, including the role of lncRNA isoforms and the involvement of LncRNAs in phase separation bodies, and the implications of LNCRNA localization on their function and on cellular behavior.

Designer deletion strains derived from Saccharomyces cerevisiae S288C: a useful set of strains and plasmids for PCR-mediated gene disruption and other applications.

TL;DR: A set of yeast strains based on Saccharomyces cerevisiae S288C in which commonly used selectable marker genes are deleted by design based on the yeast genome sequence has been constructed and analysed and will reduce plasmid integration events which can interfere with a wide variety of molecular genetic applications.

Biomolecular condensates: organizers of cellular biochemistry

TL;DR: This work has shown that liquid–liquid phase separation driven by multivalent macromolecular interactions is an important organizing principle for biomolecular condensates and has proposed a physical framework for this organizing principle.
