Self-interaction of NPM1 modulates multiple mechanisms of liquid–liquid phase separation

The nucleolus is a membrane-less organelle formed through liquid–liquid phase separation (LLPS). Here the authors use biophysical methods and show that the nucleolar protein nucleophosmin (NPM1) also undergoes LLPS through homotypic, inter-NPM1 interactions and discuss implications for the ribosome...

Sumario:The nucleolus is a membrane-less organelle formed through liquid–liquid phase separation (LLPS). Here the authors use biophysical methods and show that the nucleolar protein nucleophosmin (NPM1) also undergoes LLPS through homotypic, inter-NPM1 interactions and discuss implications for the ribosome biogenesis process.
