Cell signaling and function organized by PB1 domain interactions.

abstract：:Protein phase separation by low-complexity, intrinsically disordered domains generates membraneless organelles and links to neurodegeneration. Cellular prion protein (PrPC) contains such domains, causes spongiform degeneration, and is a receptor for Alzheimer's amyloid-β oligomers (Aβo). Here, we show that PrPC separa...
