Mashup Score: 0Molecular mechanism for the synchronized electrostatic coacervation and co-aggregation of alpha-synuclein and tau - Nature Communications - 2 year(s) ago
Here, the authors report that α-synuclein phase-separates into liquid condensates with positively charged polypeptides such as Tau. The condensates undergo different maturation processes, including the formation of α-synuclein/Tau amyloid hetero-aggregates inside the condensates.

Mashup Score: 2
Autism impacts synapses. This study reports that autism-linked mutations of CTTNBP2 regulate phase separation to control synaptic enrichment of that protein. A zinc-induced liquid-to-gel transition improves synaptic retention of CTTNBP2 and SHANK3.

Mashup Score: 1A framework for understanding the functions of biomolecular condensates across scales - 4 year(s) ago
Biomolecular condensates are membraneless molecular assemblies formed via liquid–liquid phase separation. They have a plethora of roles, ranging from controlling biochemical reactions to regulating cell organization and cell function. This article provides a framework for the study of condensate functions across these cellular length scales, offering to bring new understanding of biological…
