Sequence and structure of protein binding sites in RNA impact biomolecular condensates

Sierra J. Cole, Scott R. Allen, Bryan B. Guzmán…·Amy S. Gladfelter

The paper investigates how RNA-protein binding site context, not just valence, affects biomolecular condensate properties in Ashbya gossypii.

Biomolecular condensates control and are defined by RNA-RNA interactions that arise in viral replication

Dilimulati Aierken, Vita Zhang, Rachel S. G. Sealfon…·Christine Roden

The paper investigates how RNA-RNA interactions in viral replication are controlled by biomolecular condensates, showing that sequence complementarity and condensate properties influence RNA organization.

RNA encodes physical information

Ian Seim, Vita Zhang, Ameya P. Jalihal…·Amy S. Gladfelter

The paper develops a genetic algorithm to study how synonymous mutations affect mRNA structure and reveals a physical code in the genetic code that influences RNA-protein complex properties.
