The formation of biomolecular condensates contributes to intracellular compartmentalization, and plays an important role in many cellular processes. The characterization of condensates is however challenging, requiring advanced biophysical or biochemical methods that are often less suitable for in vivo studies. A particular need for easily accessib...
Biogenesis of nuclear pore complexes (NPCs) includes the formation of the permeability barrier composed of phenylalanine-glycine-rich nucleoporins (FG-Nups) that regulate the selective passage of biomolecules across the nuclear envelope. The FG-Nups are intrinsically disordered and prone to liquid–liquid phase separation and aggregation when isolat...
Biogenesis of nuclear pore complexes (NPCs) includes the formation of the permeability barrier composed of phenylalanine-glycine-rich nucleoporins (FG-Nups) that regulate the selective passage/crossing of biomolecules. The FG-Nups are intrinsically disordered and prone to liquid-liquid phase separate and aggregate when isolated. It has remained lar...
The number of age predictors based on DNA methylation (DNAm) profile is rising due to their potential in predicting healthspan and application in age-related illnesses, such as neurodegenerative diseases. The cumulative assessment of DNAm levels at age-related CpGs (DNAm clock) may reflect biological aging. Such DNAm clocks have been developed usin...
Xanthomonas citri (Xac) is the causal agent of citrus canker, a disease that affects citrus crops and causes economic impact worldwide. To further characterize cell division in this plant pathogen, we investigated the role of the protein MinC in cell division, chromosome segregation, and peptidoglycan incorporation by deleting the gene minC using a...
