    RNA chaperone Hfq assembles into #condensates in response to stress in #Ecoli, but what leads to Hfq’s #PhaseSeparation? This study shows that #polyphosphate scaffolds the formation of Hfq condensates, which then stabilize polyA transcripts critical for recovery @PLOSBiology plos.io/4tI0xby

    Previous #cryoEM of #synucleinopathy α-synuclein fibrils revealed a ‘mystery density’ at the protofilament core. @jakob_lab &co now show that it's #polyphosphate, which binds a lysine-rich pocket & helps stabilize the fiber #ParkinsonsDisease #PLOSBiology plos.io/3YP7Gdf
