Divergent condensates tune transcriptional responses during stress

Jeffrey N. Dudley, Joel E. Berends, Chayan K. De, Tongchen He, Giovana M. B. Veronezi, Benedict Abdon, Anjali Sengar, Matthias C. Truttmann, Mats E. Ljungman, Lanbo Xiao, Srinivas Ramachandran, Sethuramasundaram Pitchiaya

This study shows that HSF1 forms stress-induced condensates with divergent transcriptional outcomes, impacting transcriptional responses during different stress conditions.

Functionally diversified BiP orthologs control body growth, reproduction, stress resistance, aging, and ER-Phagy in Caenorhabditis elegans.

Nicholas D. Urban, Shannon M. Lacy, Kate M. Van Pelt, Benedict Abdon, Zachary Mattiola, Adam Klaiss, Sarah Tabler, Matthias C. Truttmann

This study shows how two HSP70 chaperones in C. elegans, HSP-3 and HSP-4, have distinct and overlapping roles in ER proteostasis, affecting growth, reproduction, stress resistance, aging, and ER-Phagy.
