Condition-dependent, amorphous protein agglomerates control cytoplasmic rheology
José Losa, François Simon, Dmitrii Linnik, S. Kaya, Marc C. A. Stuart, Artem Stetsenko, Rinse de Boer, Franz Y. Ho, Danny Incarnato, Jan A. Stevens, Jan van Eck, Marco W. Fraaije, Lucien E. Weiss, Sven van Teeffelen, Sanne Abeln, , Matthias Heinemann
The paper shows that protein agglomerates in E. coli regulate cytoplasmic rheology, with diffusion inversely correlating with amino acid metabolism protein abundance.
