A Micropeptide Killswitch May Shed Light on Condensate Formation in Cancer
Major Finding: Endogenous cellular condensates can be functionally perturbed through the recruitment of a micropeptide “killswitch.”Concept: An anti-GFP nanobody recruits the killswitch to GFP-tagged condensates and arrests condensate dynamics.Impact: This technology can be broadly applied to investigate how condensates regulate health and disease, including cancer.
