DNA gyrase in live bacteria forms liquid condensates through weak multivalent bonding of excess GyrB

Live E. coli gyrase clusters hold excess GyrB (B:A 2.5:1), show hexanediol-sensitive liquid-like turnover, and docking suggests GyrB bridges heterotetramers.

Sticker number modulates pyrenoid condensate assembly to support algal fitness

This study shows that varying the number of binding motifs in a disordered protein affects pyrenoid assembly and algal fitness.

SlimVar for rapid in vivo single-molecule tracking of chromatin regulators in plants

SlimVar enables in vivo single-molecule tracking of chromatin regulators in Arabidopsis thaliana root cells, revealing dynamic protein assemblies during FLC silencing.

Multifunctional polymerization domains determine the onset of epigenetic silencing in Arabidopsis

This study investigates the role of VIN3 and VRN5 VEL polymerization domains in cold-induced epigenetic silencing of FLC in Arabidopsis, showing distinct functional contributions.
