In a new study published in Cell Reports, researchers at the University of Freiburg reveal how a disordered protein segment helps connect two key steps of gene expression: the reading of genes and the ...
In mammalian cells, the nucleolus is the central site for ribosome biogenesis. It is composed of distinct subcompartments: the fibrillar center (FC), the dense fibrillar component (DFC), the periphery ...
The IDR in TAF2 steers the protein away from active gene promoters, where it participates in transcription initiation, to nuclear speckles — liquid-like compartments that concentrate factors for RNA ...
