Nuclear stress granules are subnuclear compartments that form in response to heat shock and other stress stimuli. Although many components of nuclear stress granules have been identified, including HSF1 and pre-mRNA processing factors, their function remains a mystery. A paper in this issue describes the stress-induced transcriptional activation of one

EGFP-FMRP Granules Are Proto-Granules That Can Be Shunted to Stress Granules During a Stress Response [PDF]
AbstractOverexpressed EGFP-FMRP has been used as a substitute for endogenous fragile X mental retardation protein (FMRP) in protein-protein interaction studies, and in studies concerning the composition, the formation and the localization of neuronal granules.

Regulation of stress granule maturation and dynamics by poly(ADP-ribose) interaction with PARP13 [PDF]
Non-covalent interactions of poly(ADP-ribose) (PAR) facilitate condensate formation, yet the impact of these interactions on condensate properties remains unclear.

NEDDylation promotes stress granule assembly [PDF]
Stress granules that form in response to stress contain translationally stalled mRNPs and play important roles in cellular homeostasis. Here the authors implicate SRSF3 neddylation as an important factor in the formation of stress granules in response to

NS1 binding protein regulates stress granule dynamics and clearance by inhibiting p62 ubiquitination [PDF]
The NS1 binding protein, known for interacting with the influenza A virus protein, is involved in RNA processing, cancer, and nerve cell growth regulation. However, its role in stress response independent of viral infections remains unclear.

Stress granules regulate paraspeckles: RNP granule continuum at work [PDF]
Eukaryotic cells contain several types of RNA-protein membraneless macro-complexes – ribonucleoprotein (RNP) granules that form by liquid-liquid phase separation.

Full-length direct RNA sequencing uncovers stress granule-dependent RNA decay upon cellular stress [PDF]
Cells react to stress by triggering response pathways, leading to extensive alterations in the transcriptome to restore cellular homeostasis. The role of RNA metabolism in shaping the cellular response to stress is vital, yet the global changes in RNA ...

RNF144A-VRK2-G3BP1 axis regulates stress granule assembly [PDF]
Under the cellular stress, stress granules (SGs) help survival and proliferation of the cell. Unfortunately, the same SGs help unwanted cancer cells under stressful environment, including anti-cancer chemotherapy treatment.

Bacterial stress granule protects mRNA through ribonucleases exclusion [PDF]
Membraneless droplets formed through liquid-liquid phase separation (LLPS) play a crucial role in mRNA storage, enabling organisms to swiftly respond to environmental changes. However, the mechanisms underlying mRNA integration and protection within droplets remain unclear.
