Curvature-mediated prewetting organize mitochondrial nucleoid

Xiangzi Hu, Li Shu, Guicong Zhang, Yongqian Jiang, Yuanfeng Yin, Yanyan Xu, Yong Wang, Yuxing Shang, Jiayi Cao, Ting Li, Sanhua Fang, Shuo Guo, Di Li, Dechen Jiang, Christoph A. Weber, , Yifan Ge

This study shows membrane curvature drives prewetting transitions that organize mitochondrial nucleoids through localized protein condensation.

Localized control of protein phase separation via membrane binding

Isabel LuValle-Burke, Giacomo Bartolucci, Daxiao Sun, Xueping Zhao, Christoph A. Weber, Alf Honigmann

This study investigates how membrane binding influences 2D versus 3D phase separation of the protein FUS, showing that membrane binding allows 2D condensates to form at lower concentrations than bulk phase separation.

Theory of non-dilute binding and surface phase separation applied to membrane-binding proteins

Xueping Zhao, Daxiao Sun, Giacomo Bartolucci, Anthony A. Hyman, Alf Honigmann, Christoph A. Weber

This paper develops a thermodynamic model of non-dilute surface binding and phase separation for membrane-binding proteins and applies it to tight junction formation.
