53BP1 regulates heterochromatin through liquid phase separation
The 53BP1 protein is well-known for its involvement in double-strand break (DSB) repair. Here the authors show 53BP1 undergoes significant liquid-liquid phase separation (LLPS) to play a role in heterochromatin maintenance and identify distinct domains/residues that function in DSB repair versus LLP...
