Our new study on hyperosmotic phase separation (HOPS) is on bioRxiv
Our data suggest that the multimeric proteome rapidly responds to changes in hydration and molecular crowding, revealing an unexpected mode of globally programmed phase separation and sequestration that adapts the cell to volume change. Below are the highlights from the article: DCP1A undergoes rapid and reversible hyperosmotic phase separation (HOPS)…
