Promoter and Gene-Body RNA-Polymerase II co-exist in partial demixed condensates

A. Changiarath, D. Flores-Solis, J. Michels, R. H. Rodriguez, S. M. Hanson, F. Schmid, M. Zweckstetter, J. Padeken, L. S. Stelzl

This study investigates RNA polymerase II condensates in C. elegans using simulations and experiments, showing they exhibit LCST behavior and form distinct phases during transcription.

Protein-specific crowding accelerates aging in phase-separated droplets

M. Brzezinski, P. G. Argudo, T. Scheidt, M. Yu, E. A. Lemke, J. Michels, S. H. Parekh

This study shows that PEG affects phase-separated droplets differently depending on the protein, accelerating Nup98 maturation but stabilizing BSA droplets.

Bacterial c-di-GMP plays a key role in the evolution of host-association

N. Obeng, A. Czerwinski, D. Schuetz, J. Michels, J. Leipert, F. Bansept, T. Schultheiss, M. Kemlein, J. Fuss, A. Tholey, A. Traulsen, H. Schulenburg

This study shows that c-di-GMP upregulation enables bacteria to adapt to host-association across diverse species.

Denitrification in foraminifera has ancient origin and is complemented by associated bacteria

C. Woehle, S. Roy, N. Glock, J. Michels, T. Wein, J. Weissenbach, D. Romero, C. Hiebenthal, S. Gorb, J. Schoenfeld, T. Dagan

The paper shows denitrification genes are conserved in foraminifera and their microbiome complements the pathway, revealing an ancient origin of this trait in these organisms.
