RNA structure and multiple weak interactions balance the interplay between RNA binding and phase separation of SARS-CoV-2 nucleocapsid

This study identifies RNA structures and N domains responsible for specific interactions and phase separation in SARS-CoV-2 nucleocapsid, showing that multiple weak interactions drive phase separation while strong interactions are specific.

Multivalency, autoinhibition, and protein disorder in the regulation of interactions of dynein intermediate chain with dynactin and the nuclear distribution protein

This study investigates how multivalent binding of dynein light chains regulates the interactions of dynein intermediate chain with dynactin and NudE, revealing autoinhibition caused by intramolecular interactions.

Cataract-associated deamidations on the surface of γS-crystallin increase protein unfolding and flexibility at distant regions

This study identifies deamidation sites in γS-crystallin that increase protein dynamics and flexibility in distant regions, contributing to cataract formation.
