It's Raining Liquids: RNA Tunes Viscoelasticity and Dynamics of Membraneless Organelles.
Paradigm-shifting advances have revealed that diverse membraneless organelles originate via liquid-liquid phase separation, but how their distinct structural and functional milieux are specified is not understood. Recent work elucidates that RNA governs the biophysical characteristics of liquid droplets formed by RNA-binding proteins with low-complexity domains and can decelerate pathogenic fib...

news & views librational modes) and thus changing how the sub-surface vibration couples with the surroundings. Common methods of optimizing the water-photolysis reaction conditions involve altering both the underlying semiconductor (through doping) and the electrolyte composition. This new vibrational mode could help to better understand the process on the molecular level, rather than relying o...
متن کاملSequence-Specific Polyampholyte Phase Separation in Membraneless Organelles.
Liquid-liquid phase separation of charge- and/or aromatic-enriched intrinsically disordered proteins (IDPs) is critical in the biological function of membraneless organelles. Much of the physics of this recent discovery remains to be elucidated. Here, we present a theory in the random phase approximation to account for electrostatic effects in polyampholyte phase separations, yielding predictio...
متن کاملViscoelasticity and metastability limit in supercooled liquids.
A supercooled liquid is said to have a kinetic spinodal if a temperature Tsp exists below which the liquid relaxation time exceeds the crystal nucleation time. We revisit classical nucleation theory taking into account the viscoelastic response of the liquid to the formation of crystal nuclei and find that the kinetic spinodal is strongly influenced by elastic effects. We introduce a dimensionl...
متن کاملRNA Editing and Its Molecular Mechanism in Plant Organelles
RNA editing by cytidine (C) to uridine (U) conversions is widespread in plant mitochondria and chloroplasts. In some plant taxa, "reverse" U-to-C editing also occurs. However, to date, no instance of RNA editing has yet been reported in green algae and the complex thalloid liverworts. RNA editing may have evolved in early land plants 450 million years ago. However, in some plant species, includ...
