Biophysical characterization of Eag chaperones suggests the mechanism of effector transmembrane domain release

Matthew Van Schepdael, Iman Asakereh, Jake Colautti, Andrew J. Gierys, Kartik Sachar, Shehryar Ahmad, Mazdak Khajehpour, John C. C. Whitney, Gerd Prehna

This study investigates the mechanism by which Eag chaperones release effector transmembrane domains using biochemical, biophysical, and structural approaches.

Selective ion binding and uptake shape the microenvironment of biomolecular condensates

Iris B. A. Smokers, Enrico Lavagna, Rafael V. M. Freire, Matteo Paloni, Ilja Karina Voets, Alessandro Barducci, Paul B. White, Mazdak Khajehpour, Evan Spruijt

The paper quantifies ion binding to biomolecular condensates using NMR and shows that ion uptake follows water affinity matching, affecting condensate microenvironment and biochemical processes.
