Phosphorylation toggles the SARS-CoV-2 nucleocapsid protein between two membrane-associated condensate states - Nature Communications

| Nature Verified
Abstract The Nucleocapsid protein (N) of SARS-CoV-2 plays a critical role in the viral lifecycle by regulating RNA replication and by packaging the viral genome. N and RNA phase separate to form condensates that may be important for these functions. Both functions occur at membrane surfaces, but how N toggles between these two membrane-associated functional states is unclear.

Controlled and orthogonal partitioning of large particles into biomolecular condensates - Nature Communications

By Fleurie Kelley, Bridget Linders, Mayur Barai, Yuwei Gu
| Nature Verified
Abstract Partitioning of client molecules into biomolecular condensates is critical for regulating the composition and function of condensates. Previous studies suggest that client size limits partitioning. Here, we ask whether large clients, such as macromolecular complexes and nanoparticles, can partition into condensates based on particle-condensate interactions.
