Nucleocapsid protein of SARS-CoV-2 phase separates into RNA-rich polymerase-containing condensates

The SARS-CoV-2 viral genome is encapsulated by the nucleocapsid protein (NSARS-CoV-2) that is essential for viral replication. Here, the authors show that RNA induces liquid-liquid phase separation of NSARS-CoV-2 and how NSARS-CoV-2 phosphorylation modulates RNA-binding and phase separation and that...
