Label-Free Techniques for Probing Biomolecular Condensates

Aleksandra Radenovic, Wayne Yang Wen Wei, Khalid Ashraf Mohie Ibrahim, Helena Miljkovic, Akhil Sai Naidu

Biomolecular condensates play important roles in a wide array of fundamental biological processes, such as cellular compartmentalization, cellular regulation, and other biochemical reactions. Since their discovery and first observations, an extensive and e ...

Antagonistic interactions among structured domains in the multivalent Bicc1-ANKS3-ANKS6 protein network govern phase transitioning of target mRNAs

Daniel Constam, Benjamin Marcel Daniel Rothé, Simon Fortier, Céline Gagnieux, Céline Emmanuelle Schmuziger

The growing number of diseases linked to aberrant phase transitioning of ribonucleoproteins highlights the need to uncover how the interplay between multivalent protein and RNA interactions is regulated. Cytoplasmic granules of the RNA binding protein Bica ...

Structural diversity of photoswitchable sphingolipids for optodynamic control of lipid microdomains

Samuel Mendes Leitão

Sphingolipids are a structurally diverse class of lipids predominantly found in the plasma membrane of eukaryotic cells. These lipids can laterally segregate with other rigid lipids and cholesterol into liquid-ordered domains that act as organizing centers ...

Modulation of Subcellular Redox Homeostasis with Trialkylphosphines

Jade Noémie Nam Nguyen

Redox homeostasis is essential for cell function and its disruption is associated with multiple pathologies. Redox balance is largely regulated by the relative concentrations of reduced (GSH) and oxidized (GSSG) glutathione. In eukaryotic cells, this ratio ...

Phase separation in viral infections

Christina Ernst, Haohua Li

Viruses rely on the reprogramming of cellular processes to enable efficient viral replication; this often requires subcompartmentalization within the host cell. Liquid-liquid phase separation (LLPS) has emerged as a fundamental principle to organize and su ...

The phase separation-dependent FUS interactome reveals nuclear and cytoplasmic function of liquid-liquid phase separation

Helen Lindsay

Liquid-liquid phase separation (LLPS) of proteins and RNAs has emerged as the driving force underlying the formation of membrane-less organelles. Such biomolecular condensates have various biological functions and have been linked to disease. The protein F ...

Phase behaviour and structure of a model biomolecular condensate

Julian Charles Shillcock

Phase separation of immiscible fluids is a common phenomenon in polymer chemistry, and is recognized as an important mechanism by which cells compartmentalize their biochemical reactions. Biomolecular condensates are condensed fluid droplets in cells that ...

Crosstalk between Drp1 phosphorylation sites during mitochondrial dynamics and metabolic adaptation

Miriam Valera Alberni

Mitochondria are highly dynamics organelles that undergo coordinated cycles of fission and fusion, referred to as mitochondrial dynamics. Mitochondrial dynamics regulate mitochondrial bioenergetics and allow cells to adapt to changing cellular stresses and ...

Nano-imaging trace elements at organelle levels in substantia nigra overexpressing alpha-synuclein to model Parkinson's disease

Bernard Schneider, Graham Knott, Philippe Colin

Sub-cellular trace element quantifications of nano-heterogeneities in brain tissues offer unprecedented ways to explore at elemental level the interplay between cellular compartments in neurodegenerative pathologies. We designed a quasi-correlative method ...

Image-based analysis of living mammalian cells using label-free 3D refractive index maps reveals new organelle dynamics and dry mass flux

Françoise Gisou van der Goot Grunberg, Christopher Claude Giuseppe Tremblay, Patrick Alain Sandoz

Holo-tomographic microscopy (HTM) is a label-free microscopy method reporting the fine changes of a cell’s refractive indices (RIs) in three dimensions at high spatial and temporal resolution. By combining HTM with epifluorescence, we demonstrate that mamm ...
