Now in print: @lortzrodz.bsky.social with @schraderlab.bsky.social found that the stress-induced transition of the material properties of bacterial ribonucleoprotein bodies repurposes them from sites of mRNA decay to reservoirs for mRNA storage.

Stress changes the material state of a bacterial biomolecular condensate and shifts its function from mRNA decay to storage - Nature Communications
Bacterial ribonucleoprotein bodies are dynamic biomolecular condensates that play roles in RNA metabolism. Here, Ortiz-Rodríguez et al. show that, under stress, these condensates shift from a liquid s...

Engineering Spatial Control of Bacterial Organelles
Bacteria were once thought to lack organelles, but it is now clear they confine cellular reactions using an array of membrane- and protein-based compartments. A central question, however, is how bacte...

Tuning the interaction of a ParA-type ATPase with its partner separates bacterial organelle positioning from partitioning
The maintenance of carboxysome distribution (Mcd) system comprises the proteins McdA and McdB, which spatially organize carboxysomes to promote efficient carbon fixation and ensure their equal inherit...
