Plant Stress Granules: Trends and Beyond [PDF]
Stress granules (SGs) are dynamic membrane-less condensates transiently assembled through liquid–liquid phase separation (LLPS) in response to stress. SGs display a biphasic architecture constituted of core and shell phases. The core is a conserved SG fraction fundamental for its assembly and consists primarily of proteins with intrinsically disordered

The PI3K and MAPK/p38 pathways control stress granule assembly in a hierarchical manner
PI3K and p38 act in a hierarchical manner to enhance mTORC1 activity and stress granule formation; although PI3K is the main driver, the impact of p38 gets apparent as PI3K activity declines.

Assessing the microstructural and rheological changes induced by food additives on potato puree [PDF]
The effects of agar, alginate, lecithin and glycerol on the rheological properties of commercial potato puree were investigated and interpreted in terms of starch microstructural changes, and the applicability of the Cox-Merz rule was evaluated.

The capacity of cells to organize complex biochemical reactions in intracellular space is a fundamental organizational principle of life. Key to this organization is the compartmentalization of the cytoplasm into distinct organelles, which is frequently achieved through intracellular membranes.

The small molecule ISRIB reverses the effects of eIF2α phosphorylation on translation and stress granule assembly. [PDF]
Previously, we identified ISRIB as a potent inhibitor of the integrated stress response (ISR) and showed that ISRIB makes cells resistant to the effects of eIF2α phosphorylation and enhances long-term memory in rodents (Sidrauski et al., 2013).

A Phasin with Many Faces: Structural Insights on PhaP from Azotobacter sp. FA8 [PDF]
Phasins are a group of proteins associated to granules of polyhydroxyalkanoates (PHAs). Apart from their structural role as part of the PHA granule cover, different structural and regulatory functions have been found associated to many of them, and ...

Regulated protein aggregation: stress granules and neurodegeneration
The protein aggregation that occurs in neurodegenerative diseases is classically thought to occur as an undesirable, nonfunctional byproduct of protein misfolding. This model contrasts with the biology of RNA binding proteins, many of which are linked to

Using small-angle X-ray scattering to investigate the compaction behaviour of a granulated clay [PDF]
The compaction behaviour of a commercial granulated clay (magnesium aluminium smectite, gMgSm) was investigated using macroscopic pressure-density measurements, X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), X-ray microtomography (XμT) and ...

Stress Granules and Virus Replication [PDF]
Viruses are dependent on the cellular translation machinery for protein synthesis. Part of the innate immune response to infection is activation of the stress kinase PKR which phosphorylates the alpha subunit of the initiation factor eIF2. This results in inhibition of translation and is intended to block virus replication.
