The purification of biomolecular condensates: Bottlenecks and strategies

Biomolecular condensates are large assemblies of proteins and nucleic acids that form distinct compartments inside the cell without being surrounded by a membrane. They form through multivalent interactions, are not stereospecifically defined, and can scale with component addition. By concentrating specific biomolecules at specific times and cellular locations, condensates play key roles in many processes, […]

SEPTIN9 locally activates the RhoGEF ARHGEF18 to promote early stages of mitochondrial fission

Mitochondria continually undergo fission to maintain their network and health. Nascent fission sites are marked by the ER, which facilitates actin polymerization to drive calcium flux into the mitochondrion and constrict the inner mitochondrial membrane. Septins are a major eukaryotic cytoskeleton component that forms filaments that can both directly and indirectly modulate other cytoskeleton components, […]
