Mashup Score: 6
NUP98 fusion oncoproteins promote leukemogenesis by undergoing phase separation in the nuclei of hematopoietic cells to form hundreds of punctate transcriptional condensates that drive aberrant gene expression and induce myeloid transformation.

Mashup Score: 4Temporal and spatial characterisation of protein liquid-liquid phase separation using NMR spectroscopy - Nature Communications - 2 year(s) ago
Protein liquid-liquid phase separation is an important phenomenon in biology. Here, the authors demonstrate an approach to characterize the evolution of protein phases in both time and space using a fluorinated probe molecule in NMR spectroscopy.

Mashup Score: 8
The authors show that prion protein and α-synuclein undergo phase separation through domain-specific electrostatic interactions. These complex coacervates possess electrostatic nanoclusters and can convert into multiphasic condensates and amyloids.

Mashup Score: 11
NUP98 fusion oncoproteins (FOs) are drivers in pediatric leukemias and many transform hematopoietic cells. Most NUP98 FOs harbor an intrinsically disordered region from NUP98 that is prone to liquid-liquid phase separation (LLPS) in vitro. A predominant class of NUP98 FOs, including NUP98-HOXA9 (NHA9), retains a DNA-binding homeodomain, whereas others harbor other types of DNA- or…

Mashup Score: 0Glycogen condensates drive tumorigenesis by trapping Hippo kinases - Nature Reviews Cancer - 2 year(s) ago
Liu et al. show that glycogen accumulates in pre-malignant liver cells by undergoing liquid–liquid phase separation and, by sequestering Hippo kinases MST1 and MST2, promotes YAP-driven tumorigenesis.

Mashup Score: 11RNA polymerase II transcription compartments:... - 3 year(s) ago
Recent studies invoke phase separation as a mechanism underlying the formation of ‘transcriptional condensates’. However, similarities between transcriptional condensates and the previously introduced ‘transcription factories’ model raise the question of what distinguishes the two models. One crucial aspect to consider is the contribution of intrinsically disordered regions in…
