Membrane surfaces regulate assembly of a ribonucleoprotein condensate

W. T. Snead, T. M. Gerbich, I. Seim, Z. Hu, A. S. Gladfelter

The paper shows membrane surfaces control the size and position of ribonucleoprotein condensates by altering diffusion rates of proteins and nucleic acids.

Dilute phase oligomerization can oppose phase separation and modulate material properties of a ribonucleoprotein condensate

I. Seim, A. E. Posey, W. T. Snead, B. M. Stormo, D. Klotsa, R. V. Pappu, A. S. Gladfelter

This study shows that a specific sequence motif in the Whi3 protein promotes dilute phase oligomerization, which opposes phase separation and alters the composition and material properties of ribonucleoprotein condensates.

BAR scaffolds drive membrane fission by crowding disordered domains

W. T. Snead, W. F. Zeno, G. Kago, R. W. Perkins, J. B. Richter, C. Zhao, E. M. Lafer, J. C. Stachowiak

The paper shows that BAR domain-containing proteins drive membrane fission by crowding disordered domains, challenging the idea that BAR scaffolds stabilize membranes.
