Competing Molecular Interactions Govern the Dynamical Arrest of G3BP1 Condensates

Anurag Singh, Vicky Liu, Tharun Selvam Mahendran, Aoon Rizvi, Bhargavi H. Gindra, Brian D. Freibaum, Hong Joo Kim, J. Paul Taylor, Rohit V. Pappu, Priya R. Banerjee

This study shows that electrostatic interactions between intrinsically disordered regions drive G3BP1 condensate ageing, with RNA modulating these interactions and delaying dynamic arrest.

Condenzymes: Biomolecular condensates with inherent catalytic activities

Michael W. Chen, Xiao Guo, Mina Farag, Naixin Qian, Xiaowei Song, Anton Z. Ni, Vicky Liu, Yu Xia, Yuefeng Ma, Leshan Yang, Wen Yu, Matthew R. King, Joonho Lee, Richard N. Zare, Wei Min, , Yifan Dai

The paper discovers that intrinsically disordered proteins form condensates with catalytic activity through sequence-dependent electrochemical microenvironments, enabling hydrolysis reactions and gene circuit activation in cells.

Nuclear speckle proteins form intrinsic and MALAT1-dependent microphases

Min Kyung Shinn, Dylan T. Tomares, Vicky Liu, Avnika Pant, Yuanxin Qiu, Andreas Vitalis, You Jin Song, Yuna M. Ayala, Kiersten M. Ruff, Gregory W. Strout, Matthew D. Lew, Kannanganattu V. Prasanth, Rohit V. Pappu

The paper shows that SRSF1 and TDP-43 form microphases through protein interactions, and MALAT1 enhances this process by binding to SRSF1 microphases.

Nuclear-import receptors remodel the dilute phase to suppress phase transitions of RNA-binding proteins with prion-like domains.

Miriam Linsenmeier, Min Kyung Shinn, Thomas R. Mumford, Vicky Liu, Lukasz J. Bugaj, Rohit V. Pappu, James Shorter

This study shows nuclear-import receptors suppress RNA-binding protein phase transitions by remodeling the dilute phase, preventing disease-linked aggregation.

Molecular grammars of intrinsically disordered regions that span the human proteome

Kiersten M. Ruff, Matthew R. King, Alexander Wang Ying, Vicky Liu, Avnika Pant, Whitney E Lieberman, Min Kyung Shinn, Xiaolei Su, Cigall Kadoch, Rohit V. Pappu

The paper introduces GIN, a resource that decodes molecular grammars of human intrinsically disordered regions (IDRs) and identifies their functional roles in biological processes and disease.
