Controllable protein phase separation and modular recruitment to form responsive membraneless organelles

Designer organelles with new biochemical functionalities are of great interest in synthetic biology and cellular engineering. Here the authors present a single-protein-based platform for generating synthetic membraneless compartments that is capable of enzymatically-triggered alterations to phase be...

description Designer organelles with new biochemical functionalities are of great interest in synthetic biology and cellular engineering. Here the authors present a single-protein-based platform for generating synthetic membraneless compartments that is capable of enzymatically-triggered alterations to phase behavior and of recruiting and concentrating cargo proteins.
