Liquid–liquid phase separation (LLPS) of proteins and other biomolecules play a critical role in the organization of extracellular materials and membrane‐less compartmentalization of …
Gene-specific transcription factors (TFs) are key regulatory components of signaling pathways, controlling, for example, cell growth, development, and stress responses. Their …
Biomolecular condensates undergirded by phase separations of proteins and nucleic acids serve crucial biological functions. To gain physical insights into their genetic basis, we study …
Highlights•Multiple PTMs can coordinately determine a functional outcome.•Functional consequences depend on the effects, number, positioning and type of PTMs.•PTM interplay …
Biologically functional liquid–liquid phase separation of intrinsically disordered proteins (IDPs) is driven by interactions encoded by their amino acid sequences. Little is currently …
