Mechanobiology of Protein Droplets: Force Arises from Disorder.

Abstract:

:The use of optogenetic approaches has revealed new roles for intracellular protein condensates described in two papers in this issue of Cell (Bracha et. al., 2018; Shin et al., 2018). These results show that growing condensates are able to exert mechanical forces resulting in chromatin rearrangement, establishing a new role for liquid-liquid phase separation in the mechanobiology of the cell.

  • Activation and repression of myogenesis in somatic cell hybrids: evidence for trans-negative regulation of MyoD in primary fibroblasts.

    abstract::We show that transfer of human fibroblast chromosome 11 (containing the human MyoD gene) from primary cells into 10T1/2 mouse fibroblasts by microcell fusion activates expression of the transferred human MyoD gene and converts these cells to myoblasts. Transfer of human chromosome 11 into B78 melanoma cells also leads...
