Scientists discover role of lncRNA in regulating Hippo signaling via phase separation2021-07-24Membraneless compartments which are formed via active liquid–liquid phase separation (LLPS) or condensation are crucial for spatiotemporal regulation of cellular functions. LLPS is driven by multivalent, weak interactions, involving intrinsically disordered regions (IDR), folded protein, and scaffolding DNA or RNA molecules. Long noncoding RNAs (lncRNAs) are emerging as a new class of important re... READ MORE |
