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...

A general mechanism for initiating the bacterial general stress response
A coiled-coil-based transduction mechanism is identified for a serine/threonine phosphatase that controls a bacterial stress response, suggesting that phosphatases are part of a modularly exchangeable...

Thrilled to share Luis' manuscript showing how bacterial ribonucleoprotein bodies (BR-bodies) control RNA metabolism: stress changes the bacterial biomolecular condensate material state *and* shifts function from mRNA decay to storage. #LiveCell #SingleMolecule #Microscopy @schraderlab.bsky.social
